How To: Set Up Team Roles and Permissions

Updated March 15, 2026 1 views

Goal

Configure role-based access control (RBAC) so each team member sees and does only what they should.

Steps

Step 1: Navigate to Team Settings

  1. Click on your name in the top-right corner, or go to Settings
  2. Select Team Management

Step 2: Create a Role

  1. Click "Add Role"
  2. Set the role name (e.g., "Sales Rep", "Sales Manager", "Admin")
  3. Configure data access level:
  4. Own: User can only see their own data (contacts, deals, etc.)
  5. Team: User can see their team's data
  6. All: User can see all data in the organization
  7. Set module permissions — for each module (Contacts, Pipeline, Invoices, etc.), choose:
  8. Read: Can view records
  9. Create: Can create new records
  10. Update: Can edit existing records
  11. Delete: Can remove records
  12. Manage: Full administrative access

Step 3: Assign Roles to Users

  1. Go to Team in the sidebar
  2. Click on a team member
  3. Select their role from the dropdown
  4. Save

Common Role Configurations

| Role | Data Access | Key Permissions |

|------|------------|-----------------|

| Admin | All | Full access to everything |

| Sales Manager | All | Full CRM + commission management |

| Sales Rep | Own | CRM read/create, no commission rules |

| Marketing | All | Campaigns, events, read-only CRM |

| Support | All | Support tickets, read-only CRM |

Tips

  • Start with the built-in roles and customize as needed
  • Use "Own" data access for reps to keep their view focused
  • Managers need "All" data access to see commission reports
