Grant the Right Access to the Right People
Permission Your
Projects & Processes
Access to your work in SmartSuite is set up by providing permissions to view, edit or create data for workflows and projects.
Team members can see and interact with content they have explicitly been granted permission to, and can be limited to read-only views into important or sensitive information. By granting the right permissions, you promote collaboration in a structured manner.
Grant the Right People
The Right Access
Great team collaboration starts with making sure the right people have the right access to workflow content. It’s not about taking permissions away from people - it’s simply about making sure the correct users can view and edit different content in a secure way.
SmartSuite makes it easy to set permissions for everyone in your account, allowing the correct team members to view, edit or collaborate.
Grant Access
To Specific Teams
It's easy to grant Teams umbrella permissions in SmartSuite. Like three clicks max easy. Only the teams you choose will be able to actually see, edit and collaborate in the selected workflow.
As you add or remove members from a team, their permissions are automatically updated.
Grant Advanced Permissions
Some solutions require more advanced permissions — and SmartSuite makes it easy to manage those. Grant more restrictive access to everyone, specific members or entire teams.
The available permission levels are Full Access, Editor, Contributor, and Viewer.
Field Level
Permissions
Control who can see or interact with data in a single field in a workflow.
Field-level permissions allow you to limit or remove access to content in a specific field.
For instance, you can restrict employees from seeing sensitive data in the salary field of an HR workflow or viewing confidential client information.
Invite Members
It's easy to invite new team members to join any solution. Invite multiple members at a time, add characteristics such as Member Type, assign a Role, and add them to one or many Teams at the same time.
