Granular Feature Control & Smarter Permissions for SaaS Mode Plan Builder
S
Sven Veenstra
As a white-label agency building custom SaaS plans for clients, the current SaaS Mode configuration is too limited and creates unnecessary complexity. Here's what we're dealing with:
Problem 1: Not enough granularity in the Plan Builder
Right now, the Features tab only lets you toggle broad top-level categories (e.g. "Funnels", "Websites", "Workflows"). But within each of those categories, there are many sub-features — and we have no control over which specific sub-features are included or excluded in a plan. This makes it impossible to build truly tailored packages for different client tiers.
What I'd love to see:
A hierarchical feature control system in the Plan Builder:
Level 1: Main categories (as they exist today)
Level 2: Sub-categories per main category that can be toggled independently
Level 3 (bonus): Specific actions or views within sub-categories (e.g. "view only" vs "edit")
This would allow agencies to build precise packages — for example, giving a client access to Funnels but only the basic builder, without A/B testing or advanced settings.
Problem 2: Unintended side effects at the User Permissions level
When configuring permissions at the individual user level, disabling one permission often unintentionally disables other features that the agency wants the client to see and use. These hidden dependencies are not documented or visible anywhere, making it very frustrating to configure correctly.
What I'd love to see:
A clear dependency map or warning system: "Turning this off will also affect X and Y"
The ability to override individual dependencies, so disabling one thing doesn't silently break something else
Better alignment between SaaS plan-level settings and user permission-level settings, so there are no unexpected conflicts
The bigger picture:
Right now, configuring SaaS plans requires working across two separate layers (plan builder + user permissions) that don't always talk to each other logically. A unified, simplified configuration flow — with full granular control — would make GoHighLevel significantly more powerful for serious white-label agencies.
