Guard the CRM writes your revenue depends on
You want agents logging activities and creating records, just not closing deals or reassigning owners on their own. Gate the few writes that matter.
For: RevOps teams who want productive agents without high-impact mistakes
Full read-only is too restrictive when you actually want the agent to update notes, log activities, and create records. The writes worth gating are the few that move money or change how your data is linked.
This set is four single-purpose deny policies. Each one is default allow := false re-allowing everything except its own narrow concern, so they don't step on each other or on the rest of your CRM policies.
block-deal-closure denies moves into closedwon or closedlost. The agent can advance a deal; it just can't declare it won or lost. protect-deal-owner denies changes to hubspot_owner_id, which keeps attribution and territory under human control. Object associations are handled by protect-associations, which denies creating or rewiring them. And protect-lifecycle-stage denies changes to a contact's lifecyclestage, so funnel reporting stays honest.
Attach the ones that map to your guardrails. They're independent, so you can attach just block-deal-closure now and add the rest later.
