When using HubSpot user property fields, all HubSpot users are always available for selection. It would be very helpful to restrict the selection by team, for example. ---

I came here to post the exact same idea. To expand on @MartinLeibi post: Currently we can create custom properties with the “HubSpot User” as a propery type. However, these by default show every user in the portal, including for example external users like us HubSpot partners. Clients would love to be able to create a custom user property - but limit this to specific users, or even better, specific teams. For example a client would like to have a custom user property on the company level as follows: - Business Development Rep - Customer Success Owner etc. Of course we can create a custom drop down property - but this would need to be maintained if there are joiners or leavers - and because it is not a “HubSpot User” property you have limited actions in workflows, reporting, routing etc. Instead - imagine creating a HubSpot User Property but limit the options to a specific team. When people are added or removed from the team the user property updates automatically. Also - imagine being able to do the same with the existing Contact Owner, Company Owner, Deal Owner, Ticket Owner etc properties. Currently each of these default properties show everyone that is a user. In large organisations this is not ideal - especially if you have external contractors etc as users. ![Screenshot 2024-03-19 at 13.17.15.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/7/f7820201a9d493da0de0d6d04babddc3bec3f2ac.png) Example of a custom user property ---

I came here looking for the exact same feature… would be great for larger organizations who need to validate users assigned to accounts while retaining the flexibility in workflows of HubSpot user fields ---

Is there really not a way to do this? Seems like basic functionality. ---

Limiting the options can be selected for User Type Properties is a must need! Upvoting this. ---

a very much needed feature, especially for portal with huge user lists. Would be nice to be be able to select which Hubspot users should appear in the dropdown selection for Hubspot User type property and being able to sort it like any other drop down properties ---

Great idea! I am experiencing this with a client with tickets. They want an escalation owner, but only want to display users on the Customer Success team. Having the ability to decide if you want this to be team-based would be valuable, but ultimately, making it conditional would be even better. ---

We work with various different Business Lines and Brands within one account. It would be great to be able to display only users by Team, at least, to be able to make the selection only what is relevant for that line of business. ---

Continually feel this as a HubSpot Solutions Partner. When a team is able to manually select a User, it’s too easy to select the wrong person. ---
