This is why Nimble provides account owners and delegated users the ability to control access and edit rights for certain features.

By default, Emails are set to private for all users in a Nimble account.
​
​How to set a specific account to private or public:

The individual user who has connected the email account will be able to access and make emails public to the team. This is controlled by the user only and cannot be altered by the account admin.

1. In Nimble, go to Settings >> Networks & Imports
2. Pick the network you want to set public or private and click on the padlock icon

3. A pop-up window will appear with the option to set the account to either public or private.

By setting messages to public, all messages from that network will display under the "Interactions" tab of related contacts in your Nimble account for your team to see as well. Your Messages tab in Nimble remains private and only visible to you.

Ex. If you look at contact John Smith, you will see all your email messages with John. Additionally, if your team members look at John Smith's contact record, they will also see your email messages with him, in addition to their own.

By setting messages to private, messages from that network will be visible only to you.
​
​Ex. If you look at contact John Smith, you will see all your email messages with John. But if your team members go to the same record, they will not see any email exchanges between you and John.
​
4. Select Save Changes. Now you will see the lock icon change for the network.

If you would rather make individual emails public and not all emails, you can do this easily by taking the following steps:

That's it. The message is now public to the team for viewing.

To update the ownership and privacy field for an individual contact, use the inline editing feature by selecting one of the options from the drop-down list.

For Privacy, you will see the following options:

Shared with everyone - Anyone on your account can view and edit

Private to owner - Only the contact owner can view and edit

Viewable to everyone - Anyone on your account can view

Custom privacy - Specific people or groups can view and/or edit

To update the ownership and privacy field for a select group of contacts, simply choose the contacts. You will then see the options to apply contact ownership and privacy changes in bulk.

Once you create a template, it will be added to your existing template list with the option to share the template with your team member, edit the template or delete it.

Email templates are private by default, however, clicking the padlock icon on the template will allow it to be shared your team.

Templates that have been shared with you by your team members will appear underneath the ones you created.

We do not offer task privacy at this time. All team members can view each other's tasks by toggling to see each other's activities lists in the Activities tab.
​ 
Team members can also see what tasks/events were created for contacts and which team members created them. Team members, however, cannot edit or delete each other's tasks/events - they can only comment.

Yes, you may set your Nimble calendar events to shared on the contact record in Settings >> Billings under Manage Users.

Privacy settings on connected Office 365 and Google Calendars will depend on how they are set up on your organization in your Office 365 or Google Workspave settings outside of Nimble.
