Hi community,

First time user, first issue to ask about. One my team members is attempting to use the “Sync from Google Contacts” extension (or do we call it a plug-in?) but needed some sort of permission from the admin (me). I received the following message:

"I would like to connect Google Contacts to our HubSpot account, but need additional permissions. Can you enable the ones listed below?

- Contacts - CRM Settings Access - Property settings"

I know where to go to adjust user settings, but it’s opaque to me which setting I need to change.

QUESTION: What setting do I need to change in order to allow this team member to use this feature?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi @SWinklerHelo,

You only need to edit/update the user’s permission set in your HubSpot. I created **[this video](https://youtu.be/1cJGoF7bP8s)** to show you how to do that easily.

Let me know if it helps you.

Thank you. The last bit of that video was what I needed. But I \*think\* all  
I have to do is toggle “allow use to export data” and the “Sync from Google  
Contacts” app should work for transfer of data both ways.  
I’ll let you know.
