Edit locked columns via WorkApp

Andrea Zenner

Hello,

I have a sheet that is shared to a couple of groups of people. One group has Admin access to the sheet so they can edit locked columns, the other does not (only want them editing certain columns).

I would like to have all users access the sheet via a report on a WorkApp.

My question is, will the admin access transfer through to the WorkApp? Or will the user, even though he has Admin access, not be able to edit locked columns through the report on the WorkApp? Will I have to share the report with him directly?

Thanks much,

Andrea

Hi @Andrea Zenner

I hope you're well and safe!

The permissions/sharing in WorkApps are separate, so the sharing/permission in Smartsheet doesn't transfer.

You select the permission in the Roles you set up.

Make sense?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

@Andrée Starå, so I understand, even if I give someone admin rights to a sheet or report, if it is shared via a WorkApp the greatest access they will have is editor? Is that correct?

Thanks much,

Andrea
