We recently ran into an issue where we were invited to a client’s HubSpot account, but could not access it because the portal’s authentication requirements expected our updated email domain. To get around it, we had to create a temporary profile using the updated email domain, which is not ideal.
During the support process, the main option initially presented was to deactivate users and recreate them under the new email address. The option to transition our team emails was not presented until the end of the support engagement.
This creates a lot of unnecessary inconvenience, especially for users who have been working in HubSpot for years. Personally, I have a HubSpot account I’ve used for almost five years. Deactivating and recreating a user can create concerns around historical activity, ownership, permissions, connected tools, notifications, meeting links, inbox connections, reporting visibility, and general continuity across portals. For teams that work in multiple client accounts, this can become even more disruptive.
I completely understand that changing a user’s email address needs to be secure. Users who genuinely need to update this crucial detail would likely be willing to complete authentication steps, verification emails, admin approval, or other safeguards to confirm the change.
There should be a clearer, more accessible way to update a user profile email address without forcing teams to deactivate and recreate users. Ideally, this could be managed by the account owner or super admin, with proper verification steps in place.
It would also be helpful if HubSpot supported individual email transitions, not only bulk transition scenarios. Some accounts do not need a full team migration. Sometimes it is just one user who needs their email address updated.
This would be a major quality-of-life improvement for agencies, consultants, and teams that go through rebrands or domain changes while needing to maintain clean access, user history, and continuity across HubSpot portals.
