List of all permissions in SuperAdmin

LJohnson73 — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 17:28:55 GMT

This doesn't seem to fit in anywere in location choices, but does anyone have a list of ALL the permissions a SuperAdmin has? I know it has permissions that are not listed in the permissions list in Settings>Users & Teams because I've given myself ALL the permissions except user access and run into things I can't do. I'm trying to get a list from our Hubspot rep, but I was hoping someone here had the breakdown as well. "Everything" isn't as descriptive as a list, lol.

Hey, @LJohnson73 Thanks for the great question. You are not missing a public document with this information.

I've been working on a similar project but from a slightly different direction. App creators sometimes include scopes that only Super Admins can access, but the documentation doesn't make it explicit which are super admin only — the same list you are after.

I cannot make any promises, apart from I will update you here if I receive any updated information on getting the list in a public document.

Best,

Jaycee

Thanks Jaycee! Our Hubspot Rep is working on getting me a copy too so hopefully I'll be able to resolve this soon.

Hi there! Any luck on that famous list? I need to show the blockage I live with access to all but not SuperAdmin and find a way to live around it.

Thanks!

Hey @mlcantin,

Thanks for following up here!

To my knowledge, the best we have as of right now is outlined in this knowledge base article. It notes:

"Super Admin permissions give access to all the account tools and settings detailed in this article, except for paid Sales Hub or Service Hub features, which require a Sales or Service seat.

-If you have a paid subscription, Super Admins must have a Core, Sales, or Service seat.
-Super Admins can also create and manage scheduling pages for the other users in the account. Super Admin permission sets aren't modifiable.
-If you remove a user as a Super Admin, their level of access will be altered depending on what new permissions they are assigned.
-Only a Super Admin can set another user as a super admin.
-Only a Super Admin can access the Communications index page.

Please note: the key difference between a Super Admin and a user with all permissions assigned is that Super Admin can do virtually anything in the account; users with all permissions but not Super Admin status may not be able to control features that are outside of the scope of the permissions panel."

I'll also re-tag @LJohnson73 to see if they ever found anything more expansive!

Thank @STierney. I consulted that and it is not exhaustive.

The permission sets list is not consistant and clear so it's hard to understand what is what. For example, for Associations, there's a permission set that you can put "On" that give you the possibility to create, edit or remove label on associations (Edit associations). But, when you look at the setting, you see the setting page, but you can't create new labels and it's not specify anywhere in the permission set. And, if you put "Off" you can still see the page in the setting about associations, only the button is grey. Although, if you put "Off" the Add and edit users, you can't even see what is on the setting page of users. So putting "Off" on Add and edit users remove you the access to view the users page, but putting off Edit associations let you view any page that manage association. How can we know then if a set of permission remove the view or not to the setting?

In that sense, it would but nice to have and exhaustive list of permission for Super Admin. The page you mention is more about the principle of Super Admin.
