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
- Click on your name in the top-right corner, or go to Settings
- Select Team Management
Step 2: Create a Role
- Click "Add Role"
- Set the role name (e.g., "Sales Rep", "Sales Manager", "Admin")
- Configure data access level:
- Own: User can only see their own data (contacts, deals, etc.)
- Team: User can see their team's data
- All: User can see all data in the organization
- Set module permissions — for each module (Contacts, Pipeline, Invoices, etc.), choose:
- Read: Can view records
- Create: Can create new records
- Update: Can edit existing records
- Delete: Can remove records
- Manage: Full administrative access
Step 3: Assign Roles to Users
- Go to Team in the sidebar
- Click on a team member
- Select their role from the dropdown
- 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
