Users & Permissions

Granular, Role-Based Permissions Needed for Notes Section
Description: Currently, managing permissions for the Notes section (on contacts, opportunities, etc.) lacks the necessary granularity for effective team management and data protection. To better manage diverse teams and safeguard important information, we require finer, role-based controls over what users can do with notes. --- Problem & Use Case: Different user roles within our business require different levels of access to notes. For example: We need the ability to assign Create Only permissions to certain roles (like VAs or entry-level staff) so they can add new information without the risk of accidentally editing or deleting crucial historical notes logged by senior staff or other team members. Other team members might need the ability to Create/Edit notes to update information as situations evolve, but should still be restricted from deleting notes entirely to maintain record integrity. Full Create/Edit/Delete permissions should be reservable for administrators or specific trusted roles. Without these distinct levels, we either grant too much access (risking accidental data loss or unauthorized modification) or restrict users too much, hindering productivity. This also makes it harder to maintain data integrity and accurate historical records. --- Proposed Solution: Please implement the following distinct permission levels that administrators can assign to users specifically for the Notes section: Create Only : User can add new notes but cannot modify or delete any existing notes. Create/Edit : User can add new notes and edit existing notes, but cannot delete notes. Create/Edit/Delete : User has full control – allowing adding, editing, and deleting of notes they have access to view. --- Benefits: ✅ Improve security and data integrity by limiting modification/deletion rights. ✅ Prevent accidental loss of important client history or internal communication. ✅ Empower administrators to configure user access precisely according to job responsibilities and trust levels. ✅ Enable more secure, effective, and clearly defined team collaboration within HighLevel. Implementing these granular permissions would be a valuable improvement for managing teams and protecting data within the platform.

Privacy and Data security concerns
I got to know about GHL CRM as we implemented that in my company. I loved it so much that I signed up for the agency account and have my MCTB site up already. However, as I learnt more about how the agency and subaccount relationship works and the user permissions are setup, I am really questioning whether to continue offering this service to other clients. I've noticed the agency owners by default are privy to their subaccounts complete data set, i.e. their customers, addresses, costs, etc. In other words, if I run an operational business alongside my GHL agency and I attract one of my competitors to signup with my agency (unbeknownst to them that I own the other business as well), I can run away with their entire client set and start poaching. Or, if one of your subaccounts is a medical clinic or in a highly sensitive sector, this is quite a serious breach! The decision to turn off the user permissions are left to the good graces and judgment (or ethics) of the agency owner. Personally, I find this awfully troubling & deeply concerning, especially in today's heightened privacy and data security environment. This has huge data security, privacy breach, ethical issues legal risk written all over it. Unless the client specifically grant’s you access to their data, you MUST NOT have auto access to their lifeline! I like GHL and want them to be a huge success. But this issue is more than just me or you. It’s the overall principle that we need to work out for the betterment of GHL, ours, and most importantly Clients. I have raised this issue with multiple different people from GHL, but seems like they aren't too bothered with that. here's a link to my FB post about the same: https://www.facebook.com/groups/594608437665362/user/1471297944
