I would love to see the export permissions have more flexibility than on/off. Certain people in our organization have legitimate needs for exporting but they shouldn’t be able to download our entire database.

Allowing them to be team based would be a good start so certain users can only export contacts or other things that are accessible to their teams.

Another good control would be to limit the maximum number of records a user can download.

Thanks!

I agree, this is needed. We’d like to give certain users limited export rights, without giving them the ability to export our entire database.
