All products and plans

Super Admins and users with Add and edit users permissions 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 view a user's permissions history to track their permission changes over time.

Before you get started

To edit existing users, you must do the following:

Edit user permissions

To edit permissions for existing users:

  • In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the top navigation bar.
  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Users & Teams.
  • In the user table, click a user record, then click the Access tab.
  • Under Permissions, click Edit permissions. You can use the Current view dropdown menu to review user permissions before and after editing them.

Create and edit permission sets (Enterprise only)

Permission sets enable you to define preset permissions for your team. Once you've created a permission set and specified certain permissions for it, you can assign new and existing users the permission set to grant them the same permissions.

Compare permissions (Professional and Enterprise only)

You can compare the permissions of users or permission sets (Enterprise only) to see how access differs across your account.

  • In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the top navigation bar.
  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Users & Teams.
  • At the top, navigate to the Users tab or the Permission Sets tab.
  • In the table, click the checkboxes next to the users or permission sets you want to compare, then click Compare access.
