HubSpot Ideas

Limit who can create new object records (companies, deals, contacts, etc)

I want my reps to be able to edit records they are assigned to, but not have the ability to create a new record (deal, company or contact). 

 

With anyone being able to create a record, we deal with duplicates, false information, and skewed data.

 

When we control the record creation, we can be sure our data is clean and accurate.

 

As businesses grow and have more and more sales, service or marketing reps, it seems unlikely every single user would be responsible for creating records, or should even be able to create records.

 

Surprised there is no setting for this in roles and permissions, but would love to see it added in the near future.

I am also interested in this idea, as we want to our sales team to focus on Companies that are assigned to them, and not allow them to create their own companies as we would be giving them more based on performance. 

 

This way they do not need to focus on other things like lead generation ect.

Hi, commenting for a customer here.

I believe creating a record should have a separate permission from editing.

Sometimes, I would want my users to edit on existing records, but do not want them to mess up the system by creating new records. Would love to have this!

Hola para nosotros seria ideal ya que necesitamos que algunos puedan manejar negocios creados pero no sumar otros nuevos.

I'm posting on behalf of my HubSpot customer- that this is something I get asked all the time and I believe it'd help a lot of our customers 🙂

Absolutely agree.  I want my users to be able to edit a company record they own - or a manager to edit a company record of someone on their team, but we do not want anyone but a specific group of users to create a new company.

This is really important to data quality/stewardship, especially in an environment with custom objects that expand the use of HubSpot beyond traditional sales/marketing teams. Create vs. edit is critical!!

Absolutely needed, no question. Should be at the top of the list for new features.
