HubSpot is a powerful platform that empowers businesses to streamline their marketing, sales, and customer service efforts. When collaborating with a HubSpot developer, granting the right permissions is key to a smooth and efficient project. In this guide, we'll walk you through the necessary settings to ensure your developer has the access needed for various tasks.
1. Super Admin Access (Recommended for New Portals or Projects Under NDA):
