Marketing Admin permissions inquiry for editing the Branding Kit

HubSpot Ideas
1
  • Please grant the ability to assign permission set access for a Marketing Admin to update the Branding Kit on the HubSpot Account.
  • See (brandingtab.png) access to this Branding Kit permission set versus all the Edit Account Default settings (accountdefaults.png)--limiting account default access
  • HubSpot Support replied, “You are right, that at this time, you would need to give them permission to edit account defaults (which encompasses all account defaults). We do not have the ability to isolate permissions to one part of your account defaults at this time.”
  • A workaround we identified, was for the Role: Marketing Admin to contact their internal System Admin, Goal: to temporarily grant those permissions as needed. Then deactivate that access when the revisions are completed.
  • This still is not optimum, as it is a little unnerving to allow others access to the entire account defaults. Even the best behaved can accidentally click something.
  • Value: Ensure that Marketing can access and revise the assets they manage within HubSpot.

Overall the account defaults chunk of settings is very poorly set up, extremely low-impact permissions are paired up with some of the most risky security permissions available. Bizarrely short-sighted, a fix would be great but honestly it doesn’t inspire confidence that it wasnt like this right off the bat.

We use an external Marketing Firm, so being able to only allow access to our brand information would be very important to us, without allowing access to the other security settings this allows. Please change this ASAP.
