# CRM Permissions & Audit Trail

> Control who sees which customers, deals and fields, with discount approvals and an immutable record of every change - included, not an enterprise tier.

Customer data is sensitive, and not everybody needs to see all of it. CubeCRM controls access by role, team and territory down to individual records and fields - margin hidden from sales, finance read-only, a confidential client restricted to two people. Discounts past a threshold need approval with a reason. Every change, view of sensitive data and export is recorded in an immutable audit trail: who, what and when. It all lives in UK data centres, and none of it is reserved for an enterprise contract.

## Details

- **Feature:** CRM Permissions & Audit Trail
- **Included in:** CubeCRM (https://cubecrm.co.uk/platform)
- **Coverage:** Nationwide, set up in person
- **Also known as:** Access control, User roles, Audit log, Field-level security, Approval workflows

## What it does

- **Roles and teams:** Permissions by role, team and territory, from own-records-only to everything.
- **Record and field level:** Hide sensitive fields such as margin, or restrict confidential accounts to named people.
- **Approvals with limits:** Discounts and exports routed to the right person, with the decision recorded.
- **Immutable audit trail:** Every change, sensitive view and export logged with who, what and when.
- **Single sign-on:** Microsoft or Google sign-in, so leavers lose access when their account is disabled.
- **UK hosted:** Data, backups and support in the UK, with a full export available any time.

## How it works

1. **Map who needs what:** Roles and teams agreed during discovery, from the way you already share information.
2. **Set the limits:** Discount thresholds, export rules and any confidential accounts.
3. **Check it any time:** The audit trail answers "who changed this?" in seconds.

## Figures

- **Field** Level permissions as standard
- **Every** Change recorded, with who and when
- **UK** Hosted, backed up and supported

## Frequently asked questions

**Does CubeCRM make us GDPR compliant?**

It supports compliance - consent records, access control, audit trails, retention rules and UK hosting - but compliance depends on your own policies and processes too.

**Can we hide margin from salespeople?**

Yes. Any field can be hidden or made read-only for a role.

**Is the audit trail editable?**

No. It is append-only, so it can be relied on.

**Is this an enterprise add-on?**

No. Permissions, approvals and audit are in the base product.
