Roles & Permissions

Where you sit decides whose records you can see. What your profile allows decides what you may do with them. Keep those two apart and the rep two desks over cannot open the book you are working, whatever they are allowed to do to their own.

The tree answers which records. The profile answers which verbs, and at which of the three scopes. Two seats holding the identical profile still open a different list, which is why this is a hierarchy rather than a grid of ticks.

The mechanism

How it works.

01

Where you sit, and what you may do

Where you sit in the tree governs whose records you can reach. What your profile allows governs the verbs. Several positions can share one template, which is how three regional managers get identical powers over different books of business.

02

Own means assigned to you

Reading is granted as own, subordinate or everything. Own is the records currently assigned to you, not the ones you originally created, and that distinction is what decides who keeps sight of a lead after it is handed on.

03

A grant does not travel down the branch

A rule grants one position's records to one other, for reading, writing or deleting. It does not flow down from the source and it does not flow down to the recipient, so a grant to a manager is not a grant to their whole branch.

04

Who you may hand work to

Each position carries an assignment rule: yourself alone, your peers and everyone beneath, beneath only, or anybody. Named positions widen that by person; a named team widens it to the team as a destination rather than to its members one by one.

Where it sits

One moment in every record.

Every record passes through the same seven. Roles & Permissions is the lit one, and everything either side of it is a different page in this category.

More in Leads & Sales CRM

11 capabilities

The system of record the phone writes to directly - nothing to sync.

Deals & Pipelines

Each stage carries its own odds, so where a deal sits is already most of a forecast. Unlimited pipelines, seven seeded, every stage change written down.

Lead Stages

Name the stages your floor actually argues about, color them and rate them hot, warm or cold. Six fixed categories keep last quarter comparable with this one.

Lead Sources

The same source can never arrive spelled three ways. Ten come seeded and sealed, yours sit beside them, and renaming one carries every lead holding it.

Custom Fields

The thing your business tracks that no CRM ships with. Eleven types on leads, deals, products and vendors, no migration to schedule and nobody to wait on.

Saved Views

Hand a list to a CRM role rather than a person and the question outlives whoever first asked it. A new hire opens the board instead of rebuilding it daily.

Advanced Filtering

Ask the same question tomorrow and the list narrows the same way, because the server settles it. Eighteen operators, fitted to the kind of field they sit on.

Bulk Import

Map the columns once and walk away. A file of any size is read a piece at a time, a failed row never stops the run, and a restart carries on where it stopped.

Duplicate Detection

The same person landing on your list twice is what this stops. Checked on the email, then the phone, as the record is written, with no score to argue over.

Activities & Timeline

Nobody writes this up. A field change keeps both readings, before and after, beside the notes, mail and tasks, so it still means something in six months.

Touchpoints

Every exchange with this lead on one line: calls, voicemails, mail and text. A call lands on the right record by the number it reached, linked by nobody.

Tasks & Reminders

A thing owed, by a named person, by a date. At the hour you set it leaves the product to find them, rather than sitting in a list waiting to be spotted.
