How to Add Users in Go High Level and Manage Their Access
As your mortgage business grows, chances are you won't be the only person using your CRM. You may have an assistant helping with follow-up, a loan processor updating contacts, or Realtor partners accessing marketing resources.
Giving people access to your Go High Level account can improve collaboration, but it's important to make sure each user only has access to the tools and information they actually need.
In this guide, you'll learn how to add users in Go High Level, customize their permissions, and create a more secure and organized CRM.
Why User Permissions Matter
Not every team member needs full administrative access.
Giving everyone unrestricted permissions can lead to accidental changes, confusion, or unnecessary access to sensitive information.
Go High Level allows you to control exactly what each user can see and do, helping you:
Protect important business settings
Limit access to sensitive information
Create a cleaner experience for users
Keep your CRM organized
Scale your team more efficiently
Whether you're adding an assistant or inviting a Realtor partner, user permissions help ensure everyone has the right level of access.
Step 1: Navigate to My Staff
To add a new user:
Open your Go High Level account.
Click Settings in the bottom-left corner.
Select My Staff.
Click Add User.
This is where you'll manage everyone who has access to your CRM.
Step 2: Enter the User's Information
When creating a new user, you'll enter:
Full name
Email address
Phone number
Password
Go High Level requires passwords to meet certain security requirements, including uppercase and lowercase letters, a symbol, and a minimum length.
You can also add the user's email signature during setup if they'll be sending emails from the CRM.
Once the information is complete, click Next.
Step 3: Choose Their Access Level
The next step is assigning permissions.
You'll decide whether the new user should be an Administrator or a User.
For most team members, the User role is the better option because it limits access to important account settings while still allowing them to perform their daily tasks.
You can also customize exactly what each user can access, allowing you to:
Restrict them to contacts assigned to them
Limit visibility to specific CRM features
Hide tools they don't need
Create a simpler workspace that reduces confusion
This flexibility allows every team member to have a CRM experience tailored to their role.
Create Permission Templates
If you regularly invite users with similar responsibilities, you don't have to configure permissions from scratch every time.
One helpful strategy is creating a template user with the exact permissions you want for a specific role.
For example, you might create a standard permission set for Realtor partners.
Once that template exists, you can simply use the Copy Permissions feature when adding future users, saving time and ensuring consistency across your team.
When Should Someone Be an Admin?
Administrator access should only be given to people who truly need to manage your account.
Admins can modify important settings, configurations, and other account-level features.
For most users, including assistants, team members, or referral partners, the standard User role is often the safer choice.
Limiting administrative access helps protect your CRM from accidental changes while keeping your business running smoothly.
Best Practices for Managing Users
To keep your CRM secure and organized:
Give users only the permissions they need.
Use the User role whenever possible.
Reserve Admin access for trusted team members.
Create permission templates for recurring roles.
Review user access regularly as your team grows.
Remove or update permissions when responsibilities change.
A well-managed permission structure keeps your CRM easier to maintain over time.
Final Thoughts
Adding users to Go High Level is about more than giving someone a login.
By assigning the right permissions, creating reusable templates, and limiting administrative access, you can build a CRM that's both secure and efficient.
As your mortgage business expands, taking a few extra minutes to organize user access will save time, reduce mistakes, and create a better experience for everyone on your team.
