Since this article was first published, Hubspot has made many changes that can affect the requirements of user permissions for installing the 8x8 integration. We've updated this article to try to bring it more in line with the current required minimum permissions.
However, note that you (the Hubspot administrator) may still need to alter user permissions to allow them access to specific objects, and then test your configuration to insure that the user can not only install, but also properly use the 8x8 integration.
Important Note: Once a user has authenticated the 8x8 integration for use in Hubspot, any undesired access rights for that user can be revoked.
The user's initial authentication process only needs to be performed once. The integration will remain authenticated regardless of future user access rights in Hubspot.

- Have your user(s) test the 8x8 integration installation to verify that it works.
Minimum Permission Settings
Note: If the suggested settings fail to provide the user with the ability to authorize the 8x8 integration, you may need to temporarily provide the user Super Admin access so they can do this. Please see this article for details.
The screenshots below may be used as guides. Note that the ability to Edit objects is critical, because the 8x8 integration performs object edits as part of it's functionality.
