What designates what a user can do in their account?

The designation of what a user can do in their account is primarily influenced by the user type. User types define the level of access and functionality available to users within Smartsheet. Key user types include Admin, Editor, Viewer, and others, each with specific capabilities and restrictions. For example, an Admin has full control over the account, while Viewers can only see but cannot edit the sheets. Understanding user types is crucial for managing who can perform various actions in the platform effectively.

Other potential influences, such as sharing permissions and account roles, impact access to specific sheets or functionality but are typically governed by the broader categorization of user types. License type can also affect capabilities to some extent, often determining what features are available to users, but it is the user type that predominantly ensures the appropriate level of access is assigned based on the organizational roles and needs.
