Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The core benefit is gaining precise, flexible control over your CRM security and data visibility. It moves beyond a “one-size-fits-all” approach, allowing you to define precisely what data each user can view and what actions they can perform (such as editing, deleting, or creating records), which protects your sensitive data and boosts team productivity.

This is where Pipeliner delivers seamless continuity. When a user is deactivated, an administrator can use the “Reassign” option to transfer 100% of their data—including Accounts, Contacts, open/closed OpportunitiesClosed Opportunities Closed Opportunities is a general term encompassing closed-won and closed-lost opportunities., Activities, and historical records—to a new owner in one automated step. This eliminates the risk of losing critical sales context, ensuring every leadLead Lead refers to a prospect or potential customer (who can be an individual or organization) that exhibits interest in your service or product; or any additional information about such entity. and opportunity remains actively managed.

Absolutely. Our access control system is built around this capability. By assigning users to specific Sales Units (which mirror your company hierarchy) and defining their User Role, you dictate the scope of their visibility. For example, you can easily set a Role to ensure a user only sees records they own, or records assigned to their specific Sales Unit, guaranteeing focus and data security without administrative complexity.

The distinction provides essential control for leadership. A standard Member user can only edit and manage records they own (even if their Role grants them Write Access). However, a user with Manager Rights within a specific Sales Unit gains the crucial ability to change the ownership of non-owned records within that unit. This power is vital for sales leaders who need to reassign leads, balance territories, or coach their team without having to take ownership of every record themselves.

You can create a specific “Sales User” role that grants them the necessary Read/Write Permissions for their own day-to-day records (like Contacts and Opportunities) but restricts them from performing actions that could impact data integrity, such as:

  • Restricting them from deleting records.
  • Restricting them from deleting company-wide email templates or custom reports.
Yes, this is a key administrative capability. Within a User Role, administrators can set granular permissions for shared entities like Reports, Dashboards, Profiles, and Form Views (referred to as “Common Records”). For instance, you can set a specific Profile (view) as the default for a Sales ManagerSales Manager Sales Manager is an executive who leads a sales unit, team or department by setting goals and meeting targets, formulating plans and policies, designating tasks, and developing salespeople.
