How does a System Administrator provision new users in Smartsheet?

Provisioning new users in Smartsheet is an essential task for a System Administrator, and the most effective method is by utilizing the Admin Center. This approach allows for the addition of users directly, which includes assigning appropriate roles and permissions that determine what activities they can perform within the platform.

When new users are added through the Admin Center, the System Administrator can manage user settings in a centralized location. This includes assigning roles that define access levels—such as Viewer, Editor, or Admin—ensuring that users only have access to the features and data relevant to their responsibilities. Moreover, this method promotes efficiency and reduces the likelihood of errors associated with manual processes.

Other options may involve alternative methods of user management, but they either lack the comprehensive control provided by the Admin Center or require more manual intervention, which could be time-consuming and less manageable at scale. The robust functionality of the Admin Center coupled with its ability to streamline user role assignments makes it the preferred choice for user provisioning in Smartsheet.
