There are three possible user types in Pipedrive: Deals access, Account settings, and Viewer access. Each gives users access to different features and functionality within Pipedrive.

Access rights can be configured by going to Company settings > Manage users. From here, you will be able to see the access type for each user in your company account.

Deals Access

Deals access allows you to use Pipedrive's core sales functionality. By having access to Deals you will have access to your pipeline, leads, deals, contacts, and all related features.

Within Deals, users are assigned a visibility group and permission set to control what they can see and do in the account.
