If we as a company want two different channels in HubSpot such as DTC vs Professionals and we want to limit what employees can see which channel is there a way to go about that?  
For example we don’t want our DTC team have any acces to Professionals and we don’t want our Professionals team to have any access to our DTC team. I was looking at Brands but not sure if that’s the right way to go about it or if there was some other option.

Hi @JYang789,

Could you be more specific and elaborate what exactly the teams should and should not have access to? Are you referring to contact, company and deal records? To marketing assets? Sales pipelines?

There are a lot of ways to manage access in HubSpot. Record access can be managed through user permissions and ownership: [Manage user permissions](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/user-management/manage-user-permissions)

Access to assets through partitioning: [Limit access to your HubSpot assets](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/account-security/limit-access-to-your-hubspot-assets)

Brands can be used to have clearly assigned assets, records etc per business unit / stream: [Manage your brands with HubSpot Brands](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/branding/manage-your-brands-with-hubspot-brands)

Which one of these makes sense in your situation depends on what exactly you’re referring to. Most customers do well with just regular user permissions, for example.

Best regards
