Departments are used to organize teams and can also be applied in different platform features, such as:

* Distribution of service tickets
* Conversation routing
* Access permissions
* Automation of flows and processes

A user can be linked to **one or more departments**, depending on the company's organizational structure. This configuration helps ensure that service requests and activities are routed correctly to each team.

### Default Access Permissions

In this section, define **which users or departments will have initial access** to the items created by this user in other entities in the system.

These permissions determine **who will be able to view or edit the created records**, such as:

* Leads
* Contacts
* Companies
* Opportunities
* Other system records

#### Access configuration

* **Users** – Allows selecting specific users who will have access to the items created by this user.
* **Departments** – Allows defining which departments can view or edit the created items.

⚠️ **Important:**\
If a user **does not have access to an item**, they **will not be able to view or edit it**, regardless of the permissions configured in the **Permission Groups** of the system.

💡 **Tip:**\
If the lists of **Users** and **Departments** are left **empty**, the system will understand that **all users will be able to access the created items**.
