Agencies need the ability to hide, lock, and control access to custom fields and folders across Contacts, Opportunities, and Smart Lists. This should include role-based permissions, conditional visibility, and API-only access, enabling a cleaner interface, protecting sensitive data, and tailoring what each user or team sees. Benefits are very much needed and would...
- Reduces clutter for large accounts and multi-team agencies.
- Protects sensitive information (human resource-related data, commissions, fees, automation data).
- Improves user experience for clients, sales, marketing, and operations.
- Enables cleaner, more organized pipelines and contact records.
NEEDED...
- Hide/Show Fields & Folders: Option to hide specific custom fields or entire folders from users or clients.
- Role-Based Access: Granular permissions by role, user, or group. Admins can view/edit all, while others see only relevant fields.
- Lock & Read-Only Fields: Fields can be made read-only or locked while remaining accessible via API.
- Conditional Visibility: Show/hide fields based on pipeline, stage, contact type, or other automation-driven conditions.
- Archive Old Fields: Move outdated fields into hidden folders to declutter UI while retaining data.
- Smart List & Column Control: Hide fields from Smart Lists and opportunity/contact views while allowing export or workflow usage.
This enhancement would streamline CRM usage for agencies, support multi-role teams, and prevent accidental edits of critical data — addressing a long-standing, widely requested improvement.

I want the option to display or hide at the folder level. also would be nice to display or hide at the custom field as well. blank or not.

The side bar is far too cluttered with a well built/automated account! I want to "hide" the folders associated with things like Forms/Surveys that have nothing to do with the "Contact" and store them elsewhere! Also lock them so people without permission can't edit/delete them from this contacts sidebar.

Indeed. Just closing them isn't enough. They clutter up a contact's sidebar when you have a few of them that really only work in the background many time.
