Hi,

I have been working with Hubspot API key (access token of private app) to read / write data via API successfully for our company. But now, it requires working with webhooks which requires creating a public app and a developer account.

My admin says that they have given access to me for developer app like the attached snapshot. That account is on [app.hubspot.com/](http://app.hubspot.com/)…  
 ![hubspot developer access query.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/optimized/3X/2/e/2ec18fd127fb5f9225a118f08d4aa9c9b7b6de3c_2_690x87.jpeg)

Now my question is, can I myself create a developer account with the above permission on [https://app.hubspot.com/signup-hubspot/developers](https://app.hubspot.com/signup-hubspot/developers) (which apparently seems to me as a personal free account that may have limitations etc.), or the admin will create another account for me with the type = developer account on company portal?

Please advise.

The webhooks and related API based actions need to be used for company records.

Thanks.

Hey, @sohail-amdani, did you get this worked out? You can create a developer account without your Super Admin needing to do it for you. One suggestion I have is to add your Super Admin as an admin in the Dev account too.

This document breaks down the types of accounts HubSpot offers — [Account Types](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/account-types)

Best,

Jaycee

Thanks Jaycee for your valuable advice.

Do I need to have another email id to register for my dev account or it can handle with the same email user id that I have with my company?

And, what benefit do we get if I add the super admin user of standard account as admin here in dev account?

Best,

Sohail

Hey, @sohail-amdani 👋 You are welcome.

- You can use the same email address.
- This is just a personal preference. I was in support before joining the community team. I helped several cases where there was only a single user for a dev portal. And later down the line, someone else at the company needed access but couldn’t get access without reaching out to support, filing a support ticket, etc…

Thanks for being a part of our community 🧡

Have fun building! — Jaycee
