User and Team Permissions Best Practice
Only users with the "User administrator" permission can access User and Team Permissions within the system. We'll call these users "Admins" or “Administrators” throughout this article.
This permission grants considerable capabilities, so we recommend keeping the number of Administrators limited.
- For example, an office of 5 people might only need one Admin. In this case, the Operations Manager could be the primary Admin, with another team member (like the Broker) stepping in as needed. Having a clear primary Admin helps keep your system organized and efficient.
If your office is larger, consider adding another 1 or 2 Administrators in your database.
How to access User Permissions
Administrators can go to Settings > Administration > User Management to access the user management settings within their RealNex CRM Database.
Once at the Users Management popup, click the edit icon next to the user you want to edit the permissions for.
Managing a User's Permissions
Global Settings
After clicking the edit button, you will see a popup displaying that user’s Global Permissions:
- User Permissions
- Control the ability to perform operations related to the CRM system as a whole.
- Team <everyone> permissions
- Control the ability to operate on records which are not their own and are assigned to the “<everyone>” team
User Permissions under Global Settings control the ability to perform operations related to the CRM system as a whole.
Team <everyone> Permissions under Global Settings control the ability to operate on records which are assigned to the “<everyone>” team, records which they did not create.

- User Teams
- Manage the teams that the user is in, select one to manage permissions

Managing Teams
