Scenario: Our organisation has subscribed to HubSpot for Business, including Marketing and Sales Pro. However, while attempting to update staff user profiles within the platform, we encounter the following error message: "There was a problem updating this user's profile. They can't be changed because they are on different accounts or on multiple accounts." Root Cause Analysis: HubSpot’s current system settings treat all user accounts as private individuals, including those linked to paid business subscriptions. This privacy-based approach results in restrictions on account management, as HubSpot assumes ownership of user accounts resides with individual users rather than the business entity. Implication for the Business: Lack of administrative control: Our organisation cannot update or manage user profiles, which limits our ability to ensure consistent branding, accurate role-based assignments, and proper account maintenance. Operational inefficiencies: The inability to modify user accounts results in additional administrative overhead and potential delays in aligning accounts with business needs. Data ownership concerns: Business-critical information tied to user accounts is effectively outside of the organization's control. Proposed Solution: HubSpot should implement a system update that aligns with the operational needs of businesses subscribing to paid accounts. Specifically: Upgrade User Accounts for Business Subscribers: For businesses with paid subscriptions, all user accounts should be classified as business-owned accounts, not private individual accounts. Enhanced Administrative Control: Allow businesses to manage user profiles, including editing usernames, email addresses, roles, images and associated data. Data Ownership Alignment: Ensure that all account-related data (e.g., user information, email, and activity history) belongs to the business entity, enabling full control and compliance with organisational policies. Expected Benefits: Improved Efficiency: Streamlined management of user accounts, reducing administrative overhead. Consistency: Enhanced ability to maintain consistent user data across accounts. Data Governance: Clear ownership and control of account data, aligning with business compliance requirements. Conclusion: Adopting these updates will ensure that HubSpot’s platform meets the expectations of business subscribers by providing the tools and flexibility necessary to manage user accounts effectively. This change will enhance the overall customer experience and strengthen HubSpot’s positioning as a leading solution for business operations.
