Why can’t a user see certain data or features?

If a user reports they cannot see a campaign, lead, button, or feature, the cause is almost always a missing permission or visibility rule.

Troubleshooting missing access issues

If a user reports they cannot see a campaign, lead, button, or feature, the cause is almost always a missing permission or visibility rule. This article helps you diagnose and fix access problems quickly.

If you need instructions for creating a user, see:
“How do I create new users?”


1. Check campaign access first

If a user cannot see a campaign:

  • Go to Account → Users → Campaign access

  • Ensure the campaign is enabled

  • Standard users have zero campaign access until granted

  • Archived campaigns will not appear for them

No campaign access = no leads, no pages, no templates from that campaign.


2. Check user permissions

Open: Account → Users → Permissions

Ask:

  • Can the user view leads assigned to others?

  • Can they view comments, history, files?

  • Can they edit statuses or assignees?

  • Can they access dashboards?

  • Are they allowed to edit their own calendar availability?

Missing permissions → missing features.


3. Check for hidden leads (very common)

Users may believe data is missing when it’s simply filtered out.

Common causes:

  • Lead table is set to Hide leads with these statuses

  • A saved filter is being applied

  • A campaign filter is hiding leads

  • Viewing only “Assigned to me”

  • Calendar shows only “Assigned events only”

Resetting filters usually resolves the issue.


4. Check resource-based visibility (Calendar)

If a user can’t see events:

  • Ensure they have access to the calendar resources

  • Verify the resource is not private (Outlook/Google imported events)

  • Check if events are assigned to the user

  • Ensure the user is allowed to see transits, if relevant

If the calendar is externally synced, confirm it is correctly linked.


5. Check action/feature limitations

The user may not see:

  • Automations → if “Manage automations” is disabled

  • Templates → if they lack “Edit templates”

  • Pages → if they lack “Edit webpages”

  • Bookings → if they lack calendar rights

  • Sensitive fields → if hidden due to permission rules


6. Check role limitations

Standard users cannot:

  • Manage other users

  • Change account-level settings

  • Configure integrations

  • Access all campaigns automatically

Admin users can do all of these.


7. When a user sees nothing

If the dashboard is empty:

  • They may not have accepted the invitation

  • Their email may not match the created user

  • They may not be assigned to any campaigns

  • All default permissions may be disabled

  • They may be using a blocked or inactive account


Summary

A user typically cannot see something because:

  • Campaign access is missing

  • Permissions are missing

  • A filter or visibility rule is hiding data

  • Calendar access is restricted

  • External calendar sync is not linked

  • Their role (Standard vs Admin) limits access

Review these areas to resolve most access issues in seconds.
