    I came up with a simple workaround solution.

    So far, this solution has fit my needs!

Hi there

Are the users members of the App Workspace?

And do they also have permissions to the Excel workbook?

Thanks for your response - 

 

The users are members of the App Workspace.

 

Yes - the users do have permissions to view and edit the Excel workbook.

 

Ideally, I would like users to be able to only open read-only copies of the workbooks in the App, but I have tried granting edit permissions to the individual group members to try to give them access to the file.
