Permissions question

[WBeasley]

I have invited a member of our team as a "view only" user in Hubspot, but somehow he is inadvertently creating new companies and contacts whenever he sends emails. Is there a permissions setting that I have overlooked? I don't want him accidentally adding more contacts and companies to our database that shouldn't be there.

Never mind! Another admin added a plug in that was causing the issue.

Hi @WBeasley,

You can remove "App marketplace access" from user permissions to prevent this:

Best regards!

Hi @WBeasley,

As far as I know, there isn't any setting which would prevent this, unfortunately. Even with the most limited permissions, users can create records or use tools that create records.

I've requested strict view-only permissions in the HubSpot Ideas section before: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Strict-view-only-permissions-for-users-restrict-acces...

If you could upvote, that makes review by the product team more likely.

Best regards!
