What permission level does a coworker need to add options to a dropdown list column in another's sheet?

  1. Editor- can't share

  2. Viewer

  3. Admin

  4. Editor- can share

The correct answer is: Admin

To add options to a dropdown list column in another user's sheet, a coworker needs to have Admin permissions. Admins possess the highest level of access within Smartsheet, enabling them to manage all aspects of the sheet, including modifying dropdown lists, sharing the sheet, and configuring permission settings. This level of access is essential for making changes to column settings, as it allows for full modification capabilities that are not available to users with lower permission levels. Other permissions, such as Editor- can share or Editor- can't share, would not grant the necessary authority to alter dropdown options. While Editors can make modifications to the content of cells, they do not have the ability to change the structural aspects of a dropdown list itself without Admin rights. Viewers, on the other hand, possess read-only access and cannot make any changes whatsoever to the sheet, including adding options to dropdown lists.
