Shared Dashboard is asking viewer for a password

Hi, I shared my dashboard with someone with viewing permissions only. The viewer does not have a Smartsheet license. When he's trying to open it, Smartsheet is asking for a password. Thanks

    They don't have to be a licensed user but I believe they would still need to create a SmartSheet account possibly. I have to send the Admin for our Licenses names and emails all the time to have them be given invites to register for a free account so our sheets will work.

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for your feedback, but I am confused as we often share with view only permissions, and I've never had to request admin to load anyone to only view.

    Maybe they've registered for SmartSheet before and it's recognizing their PC which could be why it's prompting for a password. I've never had anyone report a password prompt on a dashboard but we usually don't share those outside of our organization.
