Request Owner permissions for a sheet, report, or dashboard

If you need to become the Owner of an item you're shared to, follow these steps to request ownership. 

Who can use this?

Plans:

  • Pro
  • Business
  • Enterprise

Sheets and reports can only be transferred to users on your plan.

To request access to a sheet, you should:

  1. Go to Browse and find your item.
  2. Right-click the item and select Make Me the Owner...
Make me the owner

Consider the following

  • Only users on your plan can request Owner permissions of a sheet, report, or dashboard.
  • Smartsheet notifies the Owner of your request. You receive a notification once the request is approved or declined. Shared collaborators remain shared and retain their sharing permission levels.
  • If the item lives within a workspace, you must have Admin permissions to that workspace.

To request Owner permissions of Smartsheet items, you and the current Owner must be in the same organization.
