How are permissions set within a Smartsheet Workspace?

In Smartsheet, permissions within a Workspace are indeed based on user roles and can be customized for each Workspace. This flexibility allows administrators to manage access at a granular level. Each user can have different roles assigned to them—such as Admin, Editor, Viewer, etc.—which determine their level of access to the sheets and resources within that Workspace.

Furthermore, this hierarchical structure facilitates better collaboration and security, as the administrator can tailor permissions to the needs of specific team members or roles within the organization. This level of customization enhances operational efficiency by ensuring that users have the necessary access to perform their tasks while protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access.

The other options do not accurately reflect how permissions operate in Smartsheet. For example, setting permissions independently for each sheet would limit the ability to manage access efficiently across multiple sheets in a Workspace. Similarly, requiring approval from the primary user or stating that permissions cannot be adjusted once assigned does not align with the platform’s flexible permission management capabilities.
