Understanding Access Levels

Add team members to Contactzilla and control exactly what they can access – from full administrative rights to specific address book permissions.

Team members can be:

• Internal staff from your organization
• External partners or collaborators
• Anyone with a valid email address

Types of Access

Administrator

• Full access to all team settings and address books
• Can manage team members and their permissions
• Can create and configure device connections

Address Book Full Access User

• Can view and edit all address books in the team
• Can manage contacts and labels
• Cannot modify team settings

Address Book Limited Access User

When assigning an Address Book Limited Access user, you can set specific permissions for each address book in the team – choosing between read/write, read-only, or no access.

• Address Book Limited Access User gives access to specific address books only
• Can be granted read-only or read/write permissions

MDM User – Device Only Access

• Used for large-scale device deployments e.g. this 1 member can be given access to several hundred device conections
• No access to web interface
• Can be configured for hundreds of devices
• Typically read-only access via CardDAV

Best Practices

• Only grant access to necessary address books
• Regularly review team member permissions
• Use read-only access for sensitive contact lists
• Consider creating dedicated address books for external sharing
