What is changing?

Related to the announcement of Introducing item-specific create and update permissions, we will be modifying the edit permission for Products API to make the behavior consistent with deals, leads, organizations and persons entities.

1. Introducing the can_edit_other_users_products field

Users can be restricted from editing other users’ products to ensure data reliability and quality for your Pipedrive account. Please note that the products owned by the user themselves will always remain editable.

The GET /users/{id}/permissions endpoint will include a new response field can_edit_other_users_products to indicate whether the user is allowed to edit other users’ products. We will roll the new permission field out to all companies on September 4.

If the user does not have permission to edit other users’ products, calling the PUT /products/{id} endpoint will result in a 403 error.

2. Removing the existing can_edit_products field

The current permission field for editing products - the can_edit_products field - will be removed from the response of the GET /users/{id}/permissions endpoint on September 4, 2023.

Please check your API consumption logic and start using the new response field to check for the user’s products editing permission.

Where can I find the permissions for a user?

The GET /users/{id}/permissions endpoint can be used to find a specific user’s permissions.
