Assign individual staff permissions

Pixie CRM guidance. Follow the route for your workspace, check your role and enabled modules, and verify the result before moving on.

Apply role permissions (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/team-users-permissions/restricting-staff-access-by-ip-address-in-britixo) and any supported user-specific adjustments carefully.

Before you startThe screen or action may be hidden when your role lacks permission, the related module is inactive, or a required setting has not been configured. Ask an administrator to review access rather than using another person’s account.

What this guide helps you do

Apply role permissions and any supported user-specific adjustments carefully. Pixie CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/customer), staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/client-portal) visibility and future automation.

Follow these steps

- Go to Setup → Staff → Permissions using an administrator or appropriately permitted account.

- Check the current value and understand which users, records or automated processes it affects.

- Enter or select the new configuration values. Keep labels concise and use the approved business terminology.

- Where credentials, email (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/email), webhooks or cron are involved, begin with a test or sandbox configuration.

- Save the change and confirm that Pixie CRM reports (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/report) success.

- Test the affected workflow with a non-critical record and with a restricted user where permissions are relevant.

- Document the operational change and use the available reset or rollback option if the result is not correct.

Permission and data safetyDeletion, refunds, signature clearing, module changes, payment (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/payment) configuration and privacy actions can affect linked records or legal history. Use the least destructive action available and follow your organisation’s approval (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/approval) process.
