“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
HubSpot’s native Google Sheets integration operates on an all-or-nothing basis, meaning any user with workflow creation rights gains access to all connected sheets.
Here’s how to implement granular permission controls that solve this critical limitation while maintaining workflow functionality for your entire team.
Implement connection-level permission management using Coefficient
CoefficientThis highlights a critical flaw in HubSpot’s marketplace app permissions.provides granular permission controls that directly address this limitation by allowing administrators to control exactly which data each user can access.
HubSpotInstead of one organization-wide marketplace app installation, individual users can establish their ownconnections to only the sheets they’re authorized to access.
How to make it work
Step 1. Configure connection-level permissions.
Set up each Coefficient connection with specific sheet and range access controls. Administrators can define exactly which sheets and data ranges each user connection can access, eliminating broad permission exposure.
Step 2. Create user-specific integration setups.
Have individual users establish their own Coefficient connections to only the sheets they’re authorized to access. This bypasses the organization-wide marketplace app that exposes all sheets to all workflow creators.
Step 3. Implement conditional export controls.
Use Coefficient’s conditional exports feature to set up data flows that only execute when specific criteria are met. This adds an additional layer of security beyond basic sheet access controls.
Step 4. Set up row-level security features.
Implement filters and conditions that ensure users only see and can export data relevant to their role, even within shared workflow environments. This provides granular control over data visibility.
Step 5. Use API-based connections for precise control.
Coefficient’s API-based connections bypass the broad permissions required by HubSpot’s marketplace apps, providing more precise integration security settings that scale with your team.
Maintain workflow functionality with proper security
