We have a master workbook which is basically used to track the status of grants for 15-20 clients. The permissions for all of the views in this workbook are āprivateā.
A handful of our clients like to have access to their info. so they can view their grant status at any time. For these clients, we have had them create a spreadsheet.com account and then given them access to views, which we have created, of only their data.
We also have our own additional account which we use to verify/double check that the permissions we are giving the clients are only allowing them access to their specific data.
What we recently noticed is that our additional account (and, we assume, the clients) receives email notifications when messages are posted in either records (rows) or cells to which the additional account/clientās donāt have viewing permission/access, i.e., other clientās data. Interestingly, in the email notification, when you select āreplyā, āreactā, or āview commentā, the link doesnāt take you to the record/cell with the message, but to a view for which you have the appropriate permission.
Needless to say, this limits the utility of the messages we can post to specific clients if all of the clients can see every message that is posted.
Are we missing something? Is there a way to configure/send notifications so clientās receive emails only from messages in records/rows/cells that the client has permission to view?
