Big Time Saver: You Can Now Add Page Permissions in WorkApps

John Hieger

Hi Community, 

Are you tired of having to manually go into each role and set individual permissions whenever adding a new page to WorkApps? Not anymore! Smartsheet’s new features now allows users to set permissions whenever they add a new page in WorkApps, reducing the number of clicks it takes to change role settings as well as making the overall administrative flow smoother.

Previously a WorkApps page with a variety of users would default to “viewer” and the admin would have to manually update page permissions for each one which took four clicks. So a page with ten users would require forty clicks to have permissions updated for each. With this release, whenever a new page is added to WorkApps, the users automatically default to hidden and any changes can all be made in a single place.   

This new update is available to licensed users on Enterprise plans leveraging WorkApps.

To get started, try it out by going to https://www.smartsheet.com/platform/workapps or learn more about WorkApps by accessing our help articles here and here.

This is pretty sweet. I spent some time with WorkApps last year and am spending time with it again and I'm in love with it. It's a much easier way to organize a workspace imo, with better control of who sees what.
