Get "PERMISSIONS SET" or "ACCESS" from private app code

GLopez13 — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 18:26:42 GMT

Hello,

Currently I am developping a private app using a React repo, so I am able to get the "Teams" from a user using the "CrmContext", doing something like:

ctx.user.teams

My question is... Is it possible to get the "PERMISSIONS SET" or the "ACCESS" this user has? Guess the CrmContext does not have these options.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @GLopez13 👋

It's possible to retrieve the "Permission Set(s)" assigned to individual HubSpot Users via API. The User property that stores this data is "hs_assigned_permission_sets". For example, when retrieving an individual HubSpot User:

curl --location 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/users/:USER_ID?properties=hs_assigned_permission_sets' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer pat-redacted'

The "hs_assigned_permission_sets" property contains User Permission Set (or "Role") IDs. You can match up your HubSpot Portal's Permission Set IDs and Labels via the following call:

curl --location 'https://api.hubapi.com/settings/v3/users/roles' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer pat-redcated'

I hope that proves helpful. Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Hello @zach_threadint :),

Thank you very much for your response, that approach could help, just for curiosity, do you know if there is a way to do it using the SDK? I mean using some component of the "

@hubspot/ui-extensions"... currently using the SDK, so maybe could avoid the api requests 😅

Thank you very much in advance! 😁

Hi @GLopez13 👋

Here are the Node examples supplied in the relevant HubSpot Developer docs (1. User Details, 2. User Provisioning😞

1. Read User

Note that this example doesn't seem to use HubSpot's Node client library, but rather interacts with the HubSpot API via the "https" package.

2. Retrieve the roles on an account

I haven't tested these examples -- I simply copied and pasted directly from HubSpot API docs. Sometimes the examples supplied by HubSpot don't work, so you might need to perform a little trial and error.

I hope that proves helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @zach_threadint ,

your approach helped me a lot! Just had to use

hubspotClient.settings.users.usersApi.getById(userId) api to get the "user role id (here the role id is the permission set id the user has and only one is possible),then get all the "roles" (permissions sets) using

hubspotClient.settings.users.rolesApi.getAll() api. Finally, check if the roleId the user has match with some role in the roles list (to gets its name).

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Gabriel Lopez.
