Transfer ownership of a WorkApp

You may build WorkApps for your external clients or internal use, but if you’re not the final owner responsible for maintaining those WorkApps, it makes sense to transfer the WorkApp to a different owner. You may also need to transfer WorkApps if your team has staffing changes.

The new owner must be a Smartsheet Enterprise licensed user. For more information, see theSmartsheet Plans page.

If a WorkApp owner has left the company, your sysadmin can contact Smartsheet for help transferring ownership of their apps. SeeRequest help transferring a WorkAppbelow.

Transfer a WorkApp

1. Go to theWorkApps home page(https://workapps.smartsheet.com/).
2. On theOwned by metab, open the WorkApp you want to transfer.
3. 在屏幕的右上角,选择App Settings.
4. UnderNew Owner, select the new owner’s email address.
5. If prompted, grant the new owner admin access to any sheets, dashboards, and/or reports they need to own and maintain for this WorkApp.
6. ClickSend Transfer Request. The new owner will receive notification via email; they have 14 days to accept or decline the request. You will be notified via email when the new owner accepts or rejects the request.

Pending requests

You might want to change the recipient of a transfer request or cancel the transfer entirely.

To stop a transfer request:

• Go toApp settings>Transfer ownership settings>停止传输.

Adding Items to Your WorkApp while a transfer is pending.

Adding items to the WorkApp (sheets, dashboards, or reports) while a request is pending will automatically cancel the transfer request. File a new transfer request when you finish making your changes.

Accept Ownership of a Transferred WorkApp

When someone transfers a WorkApp to you, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to accept or decline the transfer. If you take no action for 14 days, the request will expire.

To complete the transfer:

Open the email and do one of the following:

• Accept怪罪别人的r request. The original owner will receive notification that you accepted the transfer. They also get an email with a link to the WorkApp.
• Decline怪罪别人的r request. The original owner will receive notification you declined the request.

After you accept the request, you may need to updaterole permissionsinside the app for the original WorkApp owner.

WorkApp transfer notes

• You can transfer an app that’s in draft or live.
• Adding items to the WorkApp (sheets, dashboards, or reports) while a request is pending will automatically cancel the transfer request.
• You can transfer or accept a transfer from desktop/tablet; there is no transfer function in Smartsheet for Mobile.
• End users do not receive notification when an owner changes
• When you take ownership of the app, ensure all pages (reports, dashboards, and web content) appear as you expect for your end users. Your permissions may be different than those of the previous owner, so your view may be different, too.

Request ownership transfer

If you can’t manually transfer a WorkApp, it might be because the person who owns it has left the company, and their credentials are no longer valid. You’ll need to contact Smartsheet support to make the transfer.

Before you make the request

To expedite the WorkApp transfer process, make sure the desired new owner has Owner or Admin permissions to all of the Smartsheet items (sheets, reports, and dashboards) included as pages in the WorkApp.

For more information about how to change permissions for Smartsheet items, see:Share Sheets, Reports, and Dashboards.
