HubSpot is an extensive CRM platform with several functionalities to streamline your customer service, sales, and marketing. It allows you to set up teams to attain an appropriate hierarchy and organizational structure.
This article covers the best practice for creating teams, adding users to them, and assigning permissions.
Why is it Significant to Setup Teams and Users?
Grouping users into teams is significant for organizational and reporting purposes. HubSpot also allows you to set up parent-child teams. The child teams can only access the content of their specified team which means that they have no access to the information of the parent and other child teams, whereas the parent team has access to all of its child teams.
All this not only introduces a structure in the organizational system but also defines the access permissions for the individuals.
