How to set up a CRM with access permissions per rep, integrated with your ERP
In a CRM shared across the whole sales team, each rep should normally only see their own opportunities, not the entire company's pipeline, which requires configuring access permissions per record.
What's the common mistake when building an internal CRM?
It's opening up the entire opportunities table to everyone, thinking "screen-level permission" already solves it. But without a per-record rule, any rep ends up seeing their colleagues' pipeline.
How to configure per-rep permission in Jestor's CRM?
- Every opportunity has a responsible-rep field, and the permission rule is set so each user only sees the records where they're the owner.
- Managers and leadership can have a different permission, with access to the whole team's pipeline.
- This same per-record permission logic applies to other connected tables, like proposals and contracts.
- ERP integration comes in after closing: the customer already has Omie or Conta Azul for the fiscal and accounting side, and Jestor connects the CRM to that existing ERP.
| Profile | What they see |
|---|---|
| Individual rep | Only their own opportunities |
| Manager / leadership | The whole team's pipeline |
To configure per-rep CRM permissions:
- Create the responsible-rep field on the opportunities table.
- Configure the per-record permission rule based on that field.
- Set a full-access exception for management profiles.
Why choose Jestor to keep healthy sales competition?
Having per-record permission, not just per-screen, keeps sensitive pipeline information from circulating among reps who shouldn't have access to it.
