User-level access is an alternative, more granular option to the account-wide access apps grant to users in your HubSpot account.

User-level vs. account-level access

Account-level access provides a uniform level of access for all users in your HubSpot account, while user-level access links your app’s features and API access to the associated per-user permissions in your account. When user-level access is set up, each user that meets your app’s configured scopes that correspond to their in-app permissions can install the app. If your app should behave differently based on who is using it, then you should opt for user-level access. Otherwise, account-level access remains the right choice for other use-cases such as account-wide automation, or syncing data across many tools in your account.

Set up user-level access for your app

Before proceeding, make sure you’re on the latest version of the HubSpot CLI (8.15.0), and that the platformVersion field is set to 2026.09 in your project’s top-level hsproject.json file.
hsproject.json
To turn on user-level access for your app, add isUserLevel: true to the config property in your app’s top-level app-hsmeta.json file:
If isUserLevel is set to false or left unspecified, your app will use account-level access. Once you finish updating your app’s configuration and upload your project, any user who installs your app will have their actions annotated with [User] via [app name] in HubSpot’s app audit logs.
Please note: existing apps using account-level access cannot currently be migrated to user-level access. You’ll need to create a new app with user-level access to leverage this functionality.

Supported platform features

The sections below outline the platform feature support for user-level access.

UI extension point support

For app pages and app settings, you’ll need to set up and manage a separate backend service yourself to provide user-specific functionality and ensure you’re not sharing data between individual user installs.

The following REST APIs are currently supported with user-level apps, unless otherwise noted:
