What permission levels are available in ClickUp Pulse?
ClickUp Pulse typically offers several permission levels including public access, team access, and admin-only access.

You may also have options to share with specific people or teams depending on your workspace configuration.
Can I change permissions after setting them to Admins only?
Yes, you can modify permissions at any time by returning to the Permissions section in Pulse settings. Simply follow the same steps and select a different permission level or add specific people or teams as needed. Changes take effect immediately.
What's the difference between viewing and editing permissions in Pulse?
Viewing permissions determine who can see the Pulse data, while editing permissions control who can make changes to it. When you restrict to "Admins only," typically both viewing and editing are limited to administrators only. More granular control may be available depending on your ClickUp plan.
