Role-based access permissions in CRM

Please note that Bitrix24 users receive updates gradually. Thank you for your patience, everything will appear soon.

Role-based access permissions allow you to set up specific permissions for the CRM section. Create roles with different access levels for departments and employees. For example, the head of the sales department might have full access to CRM items, while agents may only manage their own deals.

This article explains how to set up access permissions in CRM. For details on configuring other sections, refer to these articles:

Only Bitrix24 administrators and employees with access to edit CRM settings can configure these permissions.

To set up access permissions:

  1. Go to CRM.
  2. Click More.
  3. Expand Settings.
  4. Click Access permissions.
  5. Select CRM.

Select standard roles

By default, there are two roles in CRM:

  • Administrator: Users have full access to all items, including CRM access permission setup.

  • Manager: Users have access to view, create, and modify their CRM items.


Configure roles

If the standard roles don't suit your needs, you can copy, edit, or create your own. Click the three dots (...) and select an action.

Create a role. Select Add new role and give it a name.

Clone a role. This is handy if you need a new role with minor changes.

  1. Click Clone role.
  2. Select the role you want to clone.
  3. All permission settings will be copied to the new role.

Show or hide roles. Keep only the necessary roles visible and hide the others. This is useful for comparing or editing multiple roles.

If you have too many roles, pipelines, and stages in CRM, the system won't let you clone or create a role until you hide some. Hide the roles you rarely use without deleting them.

Click Show/hide roles and select the roles you need.

Set up a role. Click the three dots (...) next to the role name and select an action:

  • Select all permissions: Gives full access to all CRM sections for the selected role.
  • Unselect all permissions: Denies access to all CRM sections.
  • Rename: Change the role name.
  • Clone: Create a copy of the selected role.
  • Delete: Remove the role and all its settings.

Set up permissions

For each role, you can configure access permissions for actions with specific CRM item. Set up permissions for:

  • Contacts
  • Vendors and vendor contacts
  • Companies
  • Leads
  • Deals in multiple pipelines
  • Estimates
  • Invoices

Access levels. Select an access level for each action with CRM items:

  • Access: Gives full access or denies access to the selected action, like modifying all deals.

  • User's items: Allows users to access the items where they are responsible.

  • User department's items: Allows users to access the items of their department's employees.

  • User dept. subdepartment's items: Allows users to access the items of employees in all subdepartments of their department.

  • All items marked as "Available to everyone": Includes all previous permissions and access to the items with the Available to everyone option enabled.

  • All items: Allows users to access all items of a certain type, such as all contacts.


Assign employees to roles

Click the Plus (+) icon under the role name and choose users to assign it to:

  • Recent items: Employees, departments, and workgroups you searched for in any Bitrix24 sections are displayed. Find any employee from the company structure by entering their name in the search bar.

  • Departments: Select a department from the company structure.

  • Workgroups: Select a workgroup or project. Decide whether to add all workgroup members, or only its owner or moderator.

  • User groups: These are preset user groups that cannot be changed, such as Administrators, All employees, or Bitrix24 partners.

If a user has multiple roles with different access levels, the role with more permissions will apply. For example, if one role restricts adding leads while another allows it, employees will be able to create leads.

Use the search

To quickly set up permissions to a specific item or find the desired action, use the search bar.

CRM items. Enter the item name, such as lead or company. All permissions you can set up for them will appear.

CRM item stages. To set up permissions for a specific stage, enter its name. For example, you can find all the items having the In progress stage.

Actions with CRM items. Use the search to display a specific permission like Read for all CRM items.
