How do "Admin Permissions" differ from "User Permissions" in Smartsheet?

Admin permissions in Smartsheet provide full control over all aspects of the system, allowing administrators to manage settings, customize features, and determine access levels for other users. This encompasses capabilities such as changing permissions, managing user accounts, and setting up integrations and automations. Essentially, admins have overarching responsibilities that allow them to configure and optimize the workspace for project and team needs.

In contrast, user permissions are more limited. Users can typically contribute to the project by editing content within sheets, but they cannot alter the foundational settings or permissions that govern the entire workspace. This distinction is crucial, as it ensures that while users can collaborate and make necessary edits, control over the environment remains with the admins.

Understanding this hierarchy of permissions is essential for effectively managing teams and ensuring that those with the right expertise have the necessary authority to maintain the integrity and functionality of the Smartsheet environment.
