Hi HS Community, Is there a way to lock down permissions on a user-by-user basis so some users can’t create new companies? Thanks. Nick ---

Hi [@Nick\_Trendline](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/103932), We don’t currently have granular permissions that cover _only_ the creation of companies. These are tied into the overall **Edit** permissions under **Contacts Access,** which affect contacts and tasks as well. Let me know if you have any other questions about this! Jennifer ---
