Limit access to logged emails in the CRM

Last updated: August 4, 2026

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

Limit access to logged emails in the CRM to control which users can view, edit, or delete email content on records. By adjusting CRM email permissions, you can restrict visibility while still keeping a record of communication on the timeline. This is useful when emails contain sensitive or confidential information that shouldn’t be visible to all users with access to the contact, company, deal, or ticket. For example, you may want users to only access CRM emails that they are included in, while still keeping the activity logged for reporting.

To manage who can view, edit, or delete CRM emails, edit permissions for CRM emails. To customize object access, learn more about CRM object permissions. 

Permissions required Super Admin or users with Add and edit users permissions are required to customize permissions.
