Why do i need "admin approval" to use the smartsheet app in teams?

I'm trying to add a Smartsheet to a teams channel as a tab and I get the error:

Admin approval needed. Smarsheet needs admin approval to enable channel level sharing for this app. You may continue without this feature, or, if you're an admin you may use the button below to grant approval.

But hitting the "grant permissions" button doesn't work. My IT collaboration team recommended I post this to the community for assistance.

    You will have to get an admin of Teams to allow the Smartsheet for Teams app in the admin console of Teams.

Is it set to allow for multiple selections? If so, reports cannot group by that. The only way to get it to work on a dropdown column is if it is set as a single select.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":106835,"type":"question","name":"Can I use Form collected Data to Pre-populate another form?","excerpt":"I have created a Credit App for our company...

It depends on your automation settings. If you set it to unrestricted, you can send to an email address in a cell without giving them access to the sheet.

Hi @LWright<\/a> <\/p>

The items listed on the left hand side are the actions<\/em> that trigger<\/strong> the workflow. Then the boxes indicate where you want those notifications to be displayed. Messaging Apps<\/strong> is associated with Teams. <\/p>

There are 2 ways to receive alerts in Teams: through the Smartsheet Bot (direct notifications) or to a Channel (defined in a workflow). <\/p>

If your users don't want to receive other notifications in Teams, they can uninstall the Smartsheet Bot, see: Microsoft Teams Integration: Uninstall the Smartsheet Bot<\/a><\/p>

In your workflow you've chosen a channel, <\/em>so even if they have the Bot uninstalled, they should still receive your message in the channel as it's not a direct message specifically to them. Does that make sense? <\/p>

Let me know if that worked for you!<\/p>

Cheers,<\/p>
