Admin Center: Configure content and chat controls

Configure controls on what type of items can be published and what sources of data are allowed in Smartsheet. Additionally, you can pick from one of two supported chat providers.

Who can use this?

Plans:

  • Enterprise

Permissions:

  • System Admin

Find out if this capability is included in Smartsheet Regions or Smartsheet Gov.

The Security & Controls page in Admin Center allows you to manage attachment sources, image usage, web content widgets, and chat integrations. Apply them to maintain security and optimize communication within your Smartsheet environment.

Content and chat controls are enabled by default for all plan types; however, only Enterprise plans can edit them.

Attachments

Allow or block different sources for attachments. Depending on the sources allowed, members in the organization can upload files from their own computers, by attaching a link (URL) to a site, or from third-party cloud storage services, including:

  • Google Drive
  • OneDrive
  • Box
  • Dropbox
  • Evernote
  • Egnyte

If you turn off the Upload from Computer option for attachments, the security configuration setting blocks the available functionality in the Admin Center, such as the Sheet Access Report.

If you block file upload to S3, form builders can't add an attachment field to forms in your account, and respondents won't attach a file to the form.


Images in sheet fields

Toggle this off to remove the ability to add images to cells in sheets owned by other users on your account. Toggling off won't remove any existing images.

This setting is available to customers on Enterprise or Business plans. For more information about this feature, see Include a picture or other image in your sheet.


Web content widget

Toggle off the Web Content Widget to remove the ability to add Web content widgets to dashboards owned by other users on your account.

Customers on an Enterprise plan can allow specific company domains as supported sources for the web content widget by validating those domains and checking the Include domains… box. For more information about this feature, see Use web content widgets.


Chat integration

Select a supported chat provider to simplify communication among your users while using Smartsheet.

Use Chat Integration to control which chat providers are enabled. Only one selection can be active. For more information about setting up Chat integrations, see Smartsheet integration with Google.
