​​​​​​​Request access to an item

In some cases, you may attempt to open an item and will see a message similar to the following: "The item is not currently available - it may have been deleted or your permission may have been removed from it.."

Common reasons for this message include:

• A sharing link was forwarded to you but your email address isn't shared to the item
• You're logged into Smartsheet with an email address that is different from the one the email was sent to
• The item owner or another collaborator has removed you from sharing
• The item has since been deleted

If you'd like to access a sheet, report, dashboard, or workspace that isn't shared to your email address, click Request Access From Owner. This sends email to the owner with a link they can click to select a sharing permission level. Once the item or workspace owner has completed this process you’ll be able to access the item.
