Smartsheet incident

Intermittent Errors When Creating Assets (Sheets, Reports, Dashboards, Workspaces)

Resolved after 2 hours 17 minutes, affecting Sheets and Forms and 1 more, on July 9, 2025.

postmortem Jul 10, 2025, 03:23 AM UTC

Starting at 3:30 PM PT on July 9, 2025, unusually high service load began causing intermittent delays in users being able to access newly created assets \(sheets, reports, dashboards, forms\). While the assets were still created, users may have seen permission errors when initially trying to view them. The high load source was identified and, once cleared, the service began recovering with access fully restored by 4:21 PM PT.

Update timeline

  1. investigating Jul 09, 2025, 11:09 PM UTC

    We are currently investigating an issue where users may encounter an "Access Denied" error after creating assets such as sheets, reports, dashboards, or workspaces. While the assets are being created successfully, this error may appear temporarily when attempting to access them. Refreshing the page or waiting a few minutes typically resolves the issue. We are working to resolve this behavior and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
