Role-based access control (RBAC)
Role-based access control (RBAC) is a model where permissions are attached to roles, and people are granted access by being assigned a role. In a CRM it determines who can view, edit, export, or see financial data — so access scales with roles instead of being configured one person at a time.
Why a growing team needs it
When a team is two people, everyone seeing everything is fine. As it grows, that breaks down: confidential deals, revenue figures, and reps who should only touch their own pipeline all need boundaries. RBAC lets you express those boundaries once, as roles, rather than as fragile per-person settings.
How NeoKivo implements it
NeoKivo ships six built-in roles plus custom roles you define, with granular permissions over editing, finance, fields, users, and exports. It layers on per-deal visibility (private, team, pipeline, or workspace), financial masking that hides values from users without finance access, and an audit log of governance changes — so access reflects how the team actually works.
FAQ
Does a small-team CRM need role-based access control?+
Once more than a couple of people share a CRM — especially with confidential deals or financial data — yes. RBAC keeps access need-to-know without per-person fiddling. NeoKivo includes it (roles, per-deal visibility, financial masking, and an audit log) in its flat plan.
What is the difference between roles and per-deal visibility?+
Roles set what a user can do (edit, see finances, manage users); per-deal visibility sets which deals they can see at all. NeoKivo composes both — you might be able to see a deal but not edit it, or not see a private deal in the first place.
