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

All products and plans

Super admins and users with Add and edit users permission in your HubSpot account can change a user's permissions. Users will need to log out of the account and back in before updates to their permissions will take effect.

You can also view a user's permissions history to track their permission changes over time.

Please note: if you try to assign a permission set with a paid seat to a user, and don't have any remaining paid seats on your HubSpot account, you will be directed to a checkout page to purchase an additional paid seat. 

  • In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the main navigation bar.
  • Click Users & Teams in the left sidebar menu.
  • Click the name of the user. You will be taken to that user's overview screen.
