Smartsheet Admin license/Creating an App

ebonnett ✭

04/20/22 inAPI & Developers

I have been tasked with creating an app using the Smartsheet API/SDK. Our company only has a fixed number of licenses and does not plan on purchasing any more so I have to get an admin license transferred to me. I plan on creating an app in developer tools and storing the client id/secret in Azure Vault. Should I have the admin license transferred to my user id or a service account? I would think my personal user id but just want to make sure.

Thanks!

Hi@ebonnett

I would suggest using a service account for this. It will be easier down the line to transfer the service account email access within your company.

Cheers,

Genevieve

There's nothing we can do as users. It would require a rebuild of that system. I'm pretty sure it's resource intensive, and runs on a schedule performing the automations.<\/p>"},{"commentID":388346,"body":"

No problem. Sorry I didn't have a way to help solve your problem. <\/p>

Having to wait is especially frustrating for me when I'm giving a demo, but that's not the only time I'd like them to execute faster. <\/p>

Hey @Bortyk<\/a> <\/p>

An Access Token will only provide you with the same permissions and access that the account has in the Smartsheet UI. <\/p>

For example, if you're trying to Edit a sheet through the API, you'll need to have at least Editor permissions on that sheet in the UI. <\/p>

I would suggest making sure that the account you're using to access the API has the correct permissions on each item and also in the account as well (e.g. if it needs to be a System Admin for the plan or not).<\/p>

Cheers,<\/p>
