Create and Manage Teams

Written by Ohad Peter | Jun 12, 2022 11:59:17 AM

Teams in HubSpot allow you to organize your users into groups for organizational and reporting purposes.

If you are an Enterprise user, you can also create a team hierarchy by setting up parent-child relationships between your teams. Members of parent teams can see everything owned by the child team, but the child team can't see everything owned by the parent team or other child teams. 

Users with Super admin or add and edit users permission in a Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, or Service Hub Professional or Enterprise account can also assign a user to additional teams.

Please note: the number of teams you can create depends on your subscription. Learn more about the team limits in your account. Additionally, you can purchase an additional 100 teams when signing up for HubSpot. 

Create Teams

  • In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the main navigation bar.

  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Users & Teams

  • Click the Teams tab, then click Create team

  • In the right panel, enter a team name. If you are an Enterprise user, you can create a team hierarchy and make your new team a child of an existing team. To do so, select an existing team from the Parent team dropdown menu. 

  • To add primary team members to the team, click the Primary team members dropdown menu, then select the users. Users can be set as primary team members for only one team. Primary team members will see any custom records views set up for the team.

  • To add additional team members to the team, click the Additional team members dropdown menu, then select the users. Users that are set as primary team members for another team will need to be added as additional team members.

Please note: being an additional member of a team only allows the user access to the team's records and content. These users will not be included in any team reports, routing rules (e.g., conversation routing rules), team notifications (e.g., form submission email notifications to a team), or workflow rotation actions. They will also not be able to view any custom records views set up for the team and cannot be tagged in Conversations inbox comments.

When a permission is set to Team only, users can only access records owned by or assigned to users in the team for that specific permissions.

  • The user can access primary team members' owned records.

Please note: being a member of an additional team only allows the user access to the team's records and content. These users will not be included in any team reports, routing rules (e.g., conversation routing rules), team notifications (e.g., form submission email notifications to a team), or workflow rotation actions. They will also not be able to view any custom records views set up for the team.
