Hi! Can any user update lifecycle stage of a contact? Or only special permisions/user groups? Where can I see that?

Hi @MW7,

All users who have edit access to a contact can change the lifecycle stage: [HubSpot user permissions guide](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/user-management/hubspot-user-permissions-guide#crm-objects)

You can check whether a user has these permissions here: [Manage user permissions](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/user-management/manage-user-permissions)

The only exception to general edit access would be Enterprise portals where field level permissions were changed. [Manage view and edit access for properties](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/properties/restrict-view-edit-access-for-properties)

You can check who updated a field via the property history: [View a record's property history](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/records/view-record-property-history#view-historical-values-for-a-property-on-a-record)

Best regards!
