The admin toolkit: cleaner data, safer permissions, less busywork

What it actually does

None of these features are glamorous. Together, they fix the problems admins spend the most time cleaning up: reps emailing past safe limits, sensitive fields changed by the wrong person, long text breaking the CRM sync, records deleted by accident, mismatched picklist values, and licenses assigned by hand.

Who it's for

Outreach admins, RevOps and IT.

Why it matters

Fewer CRM sync failures, fewer accidental deletions, and user setup that runs from your identity provider.

How it's grown so far this year

FEB
Email limits by profile and by mailbox.
JUN
Field-level governance on more sensitive fields, and max-length text fields for prospects and accounts.
AUG
Max-length text on opportunities, separate edit and delete rights, dependent picklists and SCIM license assignment.

How to set each one up

  1. Email limits by profile

    Go to Administration › User Management › Access Control, open the profile, then Mail › Email Send Limit.

  2. Field-level governance

    In Access Control, choose a profile, open the Account or Prospect section and click Manage field permissions. Set each field to None, Can view or Can edit, and save. Changes take effect right away.

  3. Max-length text fields

    Go to Administration › Records › [object] › Field configuration, add or edit a text field, set its maximum length to match your CRM, and save.

  4. Separate edit and delete rights

    On the profile, set "Can delete prospects" or "Can delete accounts" separately from "Can edit."

  5. Dependent picklists

    Go to Administration › Records › Prospects (or Accounts) › [record type] › Field dependencies and click Add rule. Choose the controlling and dependent fields, map which values go together, and save.

  6. SCIM license assignment

    Outreach hasn't published setup steps yet. Ask your Outreach team.

Steps paraphrased from Outreach's governance profile settings, field-level governance, max-length text and dependent picklists articles. Menu names can change; check them against your org.
