# SAC 360º - Blocked Contacts
## In SprintHub, you can block contacts directly in your 360º Customer Service.
Blocking a contact may be a necessary measure for several reasons. Here are some common reasons:
1. Harassment or nuisance: If a contact is sending constant, offensive, threatening messages or spam, blocking may be the best way to stop that behavior.
2. Limiting communication: Sometimes you may want to end or avoid communication with someone without having to justify yourself, and blocking offers a simple solution for that.
3. Protecting yourself from scams or fraud: If a number is sending suspicious messages related to scams or fraud, blocking is a way to avoid being deceived.
These are some of the main reasons, but the decision to block a contact is personal and depends on the specific circumstances.
### To block a contact, you must first grant that permission to your users (non-administrators). To do this, follow these steps:
{% hint style="danger" %}
*By granting this permission, users will be able to block Leads/Contacts as needed. Otherwise, only administrators will have this ability.*
{% endhint %}
1. Go to System Settings ⚙;
2. Select the option: Permission Group;
3. To create a new group click “+ New Group”, to edit an existing one, click “Edit”;
4. To enable the block contact function, just check the selection box ☑️;
5. After making the changes, click “Save Changes”.
