What is the minimum permission level required to edit the options in a dropdown list column?

To edit the options in a dropdown list column in Smartsheet, a user must have appropriate permission levels that allow them to make modifications to the sheet structure. The minimum permission level required for this task is the Admin level. Admins have full access to all functions within Smartsheet, including editing the structure of the sheet, which encompasses adding, deleting, or modifying dropdown options.

This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the data and ensuring that only those with the necessary authority can make changes to the dropdown choices, preventing unauthorized alterations. While Editor and Owner roles also have significant permissions, the specific permission to modify dropdown options is fundamentally tied to the Admin role. The Viewer role is limited to viewing the content and does not have editing capabilities. Thus, Admin access is essential for making these types of changes.
