This Workspace Role would allow the following for Certified SmartSuite Consultants who build applications for their customers: Create a customer workspace Develop in the Customer's workspace Remain on their customer's workspace indefinitely as a free license Cannot be removed other than by themselves Not lose access to solutions built on handover Be able to sell products / solutions to customers and bill monthly I feel this type of role will positively impact SmartSuite as more and more developers would move their clients over to SmartSuite due to this functionality. It will provide certified consultants the opportunity to build up a monthly recurring revenue (MRR) model and not rely purely on new development projects.

Hello, At Uptimi, we are experiencing rapid growth and are currently structuring our expansion by agency. Each agency has one or more associates as well as executive assistants. I need to be able to assign specific permissions so that they can create, view, and modify all records related to their team members, and only their team members. They should also be able to see everything their team does and assist with their activities in SmartSuite (contracts, clients, etc.). The team members already have standard rights, which are operational and not an issue. This is quite urgent as we are onboarding 28 new people by December 15, 2024. Do you have any ideas on how we can manage this setup before an update to the permission rights becomes available?

It would be nice for users to be able to update their email addresses in smartsuite

Recently 2 of my Clients asked for a free consultant/developer seat, similar to the Guest role but with full access. I understand that the monthly free for a seat is a fraction of the consultant's hourly fee, but still Clients consider this as a good gesture (Something that Clickup offers). Also note that there are cases were more than one developer/consultant needs access when working with a team and clients have to pay more than one account in this case.

We would like the ability to create our own custom roles that can be linked to users when using the Advanced Permissions option in a solution. We would like the ability to enter a name and description and also select the specific read, write,update and delete permissions. In addition we need the ability to control access to specific records using the Assigned To field. The newly created role should then be displayed in the Advanced Permission Role Selection menu. Please note that products like Stacker and Bubble provide this type of capability and it is very useful.

SmartSuite has some strong features governing permissions, roles, etc. It's possible to prevent certain users from editing fields, for example, or even viewing them. What I really need as a developer is the ability to temporarily PRETEND to be a non-developer user. This is a great feature in Knack and would be very useful in SmartSuite. Would allow me to test as a user to make sure that (say) completely hiding a field doesn't cause problems, and of course just to see what the solution looks like from the end-user's (editor's) view. Way this works is, I select a privilege set to impersonate, and a little button appears at top of page (say) saying something like "Impersonating Editor privileges. Click to return to Developer privileges."

I love the structure of the Permissions on how application permissions can override solution permissions, and also noticed permissions on the field level are coming soon. Checked for "permissions on the view level" in the community, YouTube and checked if possible in the tool, and couldn't find it. For example, I have the work logs of my staff in an app, where I need to share different views with different people. Will hide the "rate" column, and share it with the project manager, need to share the dashboard view with the client, and so on... Is it possible SS is considering this case or is this topic already discussed in the community? super thanks!

Most relational database applications I have worked with have the ability to set read/write permissions on a more granular level. I like the concept of having permissions wrapped up into 'types' but there are use cases where those types don't work. Rather than adding more permission 'types' to cover every scenario people can come up with, it would be great to introduce something like 'advanced permissions' where you can get to more granular levels of permissions. An example, while not totally practical, would be the ability to set a team to have write permissions where they can create records on a table, but then have no read permissions.

The filters in the grid view on the dashboard are not recognizing fields that the users don't have permissions to see. For example if a set a grid to filter out all tasks with the "Test Data = Yes" and then hide the "Test Data" field from users (Since it should only be used by solution creators, then it will show all "Test Data = Yes" records for the users but not for the admins. This is especially odd when you can hide the toolbars so the users cannot edit the filters.

To streamline the member invite process, SmartSuite's authorization system has been enhanced with features that support inviting new members by email, or via a link (URL) that can be sent to the prospective member.
