Folder-level permissions

Share a folder within a workspace to someone without having to share the whole workspace

As the number of workspaces grow, it would be so much more convenient to be able to apply the same type of sharing permissions for workspaces and individual sheets/reports/dashboards at the FOLDER level, as well. For example, I have several product development workspaces, one for each product, but would prefer to keep all similar products within a single workspace and simply share the folder contents with respective/appropriate users. From an organizational perspective, this would make it so much easier to manage. I could also keep master templates and other related items with potentially confidential information in the same workspace within its own folder and not have it shared or visible to others.

The inability to share a folder makes it nearly impossible to manage a cohesive PMO effectively when working in a matrix organization. We have projects that span many different departments and areas that cannot have visibility to all our projects. Having to add them all each each asset for a project is wasteful. Add on to that the fact that I can't just copy/past e-mail addresses easily to add them and it's a solid 2-3 hour task for some basic projects.

Have spent the last few months reviewing the capabilities and making a test PMO internally with a small group of user and then discovered we can't share a folder with a small team.
Our PMO required Project Folders and Global Folders and we need to provide access the the entire contents of the Folder with eh people at the Project Level and the Global is executive level and needs to see and read all the data in the Project folders.
I don't see how we can make this happen without folder sharing either in Workspace or Sheet Folders and I we are not going to use some account function with user accounts. Some of the users at the project level are low level users that will never need/use an account.
Is this resolvable? The rest of your features make this a nice Solution, but without this feature, we can not implement it full STOP. I can't have project users accessing Global and I can't share/update sheet access one by one for every user.

Half of my company is moving to Jira due to Smartsheets's not being that Smart!

I would love to see thin on the roadmap. I work with a team that has 13 workspaces because of permission issues. As the owner/admin I see everyone's spaces which makes my view really bulky. Please find a way to make folder permissions possible.

While this is now possible with collections this solution isn't viable for many users in solving this problem as it's behind the enterprise paywall. Would be great to still have folder level permissions rolled out for all users in some function
