Opportunity Permissions

1. Feature Overview

Opportunities in LeadSquared represent your potential deals. You can configure and grant opportunity permissions to your users across –

• Role Level – The opportunity permissions are available by default to all the users present in your organization, and require no further configuration from your end.
• Sales Groups – The opportunity permissions are available by default to the Sales Managers and Sales Users present in a sales group. These permissions grant special access to Sales Managers. Depending on the permissions given to them, they can view, modify and delete the opportunities owned by the Sales Users who report to them.
• Permission Templates – For a permission template, the opportunity permissions will have to be configured at the opportunity type level. Through this, you can restrict user access to an opportunity type, enable field masking (in order to protect sensitive data such as PAN number, Social Security Number, health records, etc.), and grant opportunity import and opportunity export access to users.

Permissions help ensure that only authorized users will be able to access relevant opportunities.
