Change Permissions for Specific Items in Workspace

George Speier

这将是非常有用的if I could override workspace permissions for specific items in a workspace. For example:

I give a bunch of people Editor permissions at the workspace level, but for one sheet inside the workspace, I want to downgrade their permissions to Viewer. My understanding is that this is not currently possible.

Thank you for considering this idea.

Hi@George Speier

Thank you for posting your idea! You are correct that you cannot downgrade sharing permissions on a specific sheet within a workspace, however you can do the opposite:

• Provide your users with Viewer Permissions in the Workspace
• Add them separately to any sheets you want them to have Editor or higher permissions

The higher permission level will override the lower Workspace one so they'll be able to edit specific sheets, but the default permissions for newly created items in that Workspace will be Viewer.

Cheers,

Genevieve

@Genevieve P.Thank you. Unfortunately, that's a very unappealing solution when you have a very long (and growing) list of sheets that need to be editable by everyone, and only one or two sheets that need to have their permissions downgraded.
