Currently All Smartsheet workspace Admins receive Workspace access email alerts. Which means hundreds of team members will effectively be…
It would be useful if users who clicked a Dynamic View link (that they were not previously added to) could "request access" to the Dynamic View, and provide a reason, so that the admin can easily grant that access. The use case for me would be to avoid having to pre-populate and then maintain a user group of viewers, but…
