# Segments - Permission Settings The **Segment Permission Settings** define **which users or departments can access and use a given segment** within the system. This helps control access to information and better organize data across teams. {% embed url="" %} *** ### Access Permissions In this section you define **who will be able to view and use the segment**. **Important rule:**\ If the fields **Users** and **Departments** are left blank, **all system users will have access to the segment**. #### Users Allows you to select specific users who will be able to access the segment. Example: * Pamela Pitanga #### Departments Allows access to be granted to all users in a specific department. Example: * Support Thus, all users who belong to the selected department will have access to the segment. *** ### Segment Owner When this option is used, the segment **will show only the leads that belong to or that the owner has access to**. ⚠️ Important:\ This setting **does not consider the owner's departments**, only the leads directly linked to them. Available options: * **No owner**\ The segment will not be restricted to a specific owner. *** ### Populate only the leads that belong This setting allows the segment to be populated **only with leads belonging to certain users or departments**. You can select: #### Users Choose specific users whose leads will be included in the segment. #### Departments Select departments so that **only the leads belonging to those departments** be part of the segment. *** ✅ **Practical usage example** * Allow access only for the **Support department** * Populate the segment only with **leads belonging to the sales team** In this way, each team works only with **the leads that are part of their operation**, keeping the CRM organized. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
