Who has the capability to manually create an update request?

The ability to manually create an update request in Smartsheet is a functionality that is available to Owners, Admins, and Editors. This inclusive access allows those who have more collaborative or managerial roles in the project to easily communicate updates and gather necessary feedback from team members.

Owners have complete control over the sheet, including creating new requests and managing overall settings. Admins support this by having extensive rights, which lets them assist Owners in maintaining the project. Editors also need to contribute actively to project communications and updates, reflecting their role in project collaboration.

This level of access promotes effective project management, ensuring that communication channels remain open among team members involved in a project, facilitating timely updates and collaboration. The remaining roles, such as users with view-only permissions or specific content restrictions, would not have the ability to create update requests, which limits their functionality in the active management of the project.
