When managing a team, there will be occasions when you will want certain users to not perform certain tasks in order to reduce the chance of mistakes or duplication of a user's workload. To allow you to categorize your users and dictate what actions they will be allowed access to, Pipedrive offers permission sets.

While visibility groups in Pipedrive dictate what users in your account are able to see, permission sets inform what actions certain groups of users are allowed to perform within Pipedrive.


Managing permission sets and adding users

To manage your permission sets, go to Settings > Manage Users > Permission sets. You can see the permission sets and the number of users under each set in this view.

The level of customization you are able to add to your permission sets is set by which Pipedrive plan your account is currently on.

Essential
  • Admin user
  • Regular user – can be fully customized
Advanced
  • Admin user
  • Regular user – can be fully customized
Professional
  • Admin user
  • Regular user – can be customized
  • Custom permission sets (up to 2)
    Enterprise
    • Admin user
    • Regular user – can be fully customized
    • Custom permission sets (unlimited)
    Note: Admin users have all permissions enabled by default.

    Select the permission set to see which permissions are enabled and add or remove users from that permission set. Regular and any custom sets can be fully customized, while admin users will always have all permissions enabled.

    Click on Edit permission set to enable or disable permissions for that permission set.

    New users added to your company account will have regular user permissions for deals and global by default.

    Note: Only users with account settings access can enable or disable permissions for other users.
