Managing permissions

Guru provides manual access control for Smartsheet Sources. You control which Groups in Guru can access synced Smartsheet content.

How it works: Only users in Groups you assign to the Source can see Smartsheet results when using AI Answers or Search.

Managing access:

  1. Go to Manage > Sources.
  2. Select your Smartsheet Source.
  3. Add or remove Groups from the Access section.

Note

The authenticating user must have access to content in Smartsheet for it to sync. If you lose access to certain Sheets in Smartsheet, those will no longer be available in Guru after the next sync.
