The export feature is either on or off - there is no in between. Given all the laws and regulations with PII it would be great to limit how much users within our account can export.

Too often I see users export everything without regard to just how much data we have in there, and it poses a huge risk for mismanagement.

Would really like to see some additional admin rights to approve export requests if they are over a specific size - with the right to cancel and modify the export request if it wasn’t setup correctly to begin with.

I like this idea. The best I can do right now is restrict who can do exports, but that means the exports fall on me (which is okay!)

Hey team, Alex on the import/export product team here.

We’re currently in a public beta for export approvals. If you have an Enterprise account, you can enroll following [these instructions](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/account/opt-your-hubspot-account-into-a-public-beta-feature) (search for “Export Approvals”). Here’s [the documentation for the feature](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/import-and-export/export-approvals). I’d love to hear your feedback! Let me know how the setup process went. How the approval process is working in your portal, etc.
