# Give colleagues access using followers in Infinity3

Add a colleague as a follower when they need to help with a contact or opportunity while the existing owner remains responsible.

#### Before you start

You’ll need permission to manage the record. Confirm which colleague needs access and whether they need the contact, opportunity or both.

#### Add a contact follower

1. Open **Contacts** and select the correct customer.
2. Find the record’s **Followers** control.
3. Select the colleague and save or confirm where prompted.

#### Add an opportunity follower

1. Open **Opportunities** and select the intended deal.
2. Open its edit or details panel.
3. Find **Followers** in **Opportunity Details**.
4. Add the colleague and save.

The documented follower limit is **10 users per record**.

#### Check access

Ask the colleague to open the record using their own account. Followers can help users with **Only Assigned Data** access view and edit the followed record, but other module permissions still matter.

For example, viewing appointments also requires the appropriate calendar permission.

#### Things to know

- Adding a follower does not transfer record ownership.
- Followers cannot change ownership through their follower access.
- Following a record is separate from assigning a task or sending an internal chat message.

Review followers when responsibilities change. Contact Infinity3 with the affected record and colleague if access remains unavailable.
