Overview
Many different types of users on your team may use Apollo. Every user may need to undertake different responsibilities in the platform and for that reason, it is important to utilize the principle of least privilege. Apollo offers very granular permission levels that you can save as Permission Profiles and apply to individual users in your account.
Please note, Apollo uses "Admin" as the default permission profile in the platform. You cannot modify most of the "Admin" permission profile settings.
Create a New Permission Profile
Launch Apollo and then click Settings.
Click Permission Profiles.
Click + New Profile.
Give the Permission Profile a name and then click Create.
The Permission Profile screen provides you with settings divided into several different sections: "Name," "Administration," "Sequence & Emails," "Lead Gen," "Accounts & Contacts," and "Territories," "Opportunities," and "Playbooks."
Profile Name
Update and change the name of the permission profile from this section. Often this reflects the job title of the user who you will assign this permission profile.

Sequence & Emails
The "Sequences & Emails" section allows you to limit which emails a user can see, which mailboxes they can send emails from, who they can send emails to, and a user's general access to sequences and templates. It includes the following settings:
- Email visibility

Please note, Apollo recommends that you use the Can see all emails from other users checkbox in the Email visibility section with caution. If you select this option, all Apollo users within your organization have access to view every other user's email activity. This includes all the emails that Apollo imports from each user's connected mailbox, whether a user sends them through Apollo or not. If you have a large team and are concerned about email confidentiality, Apollo recommends that you select the following checkbox instead: Can see outbound emails sent within the Apollo platform and replies to those emails, but not other emails. This means that users will only see the emails sent and replied to through Apollo. They will not see any other emails from your users' connected mailboxes. And voila—you've kept your team's email privacy safe and sound!
