| **Full Access\***  | • Read/write access to list data within your team's Affinity CRM account, while also syncing email/calendar data for relationship intelligence. • Full access users also have access to [Affinity Alliances](/s/article/Getting-started-with-Affinity-Alliances) by default.                                                                                                                                                                    | • Your team members who need Affinity CRM access.                                                                                                                                       | • All Affinity CRM users across all tiers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| **Sync Only**      | • No access to the Affinity CRM, just syncing email/calendar data to provide better relationship intelligence for Full Access users ([learn more](/s/article/How-to-invite-manage-Sync-Only-users-in-Affinity)).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                | • Your team members who don't need Affinity CRM access, but have strong networks and are willing to share their email/calendar data with other team members who are Affinity CRM users. | • All Affinity CRM users across all tiers, but you must purchase a **5-seat minimum** by talking to your Affinity representative or reaching out to [support@affinity.co](mailto:support@affinity.co). • Every additional Sync Only seat after the first 5 can be purchased in-product. |
| **Collaborators**  | • Read-only access to specific saved views within a given list. No syncing ([learn more](/s/article/How-to-invite-manage-Collaborators-in-Affinity)).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           | • People outside of your organization (investors, LPs, founders, etc.) who need read-only access to certain data.                                                                       | • All Affinity CRM users across all tiers, but you must purchase a set of **25 seats**, **100 seats**, or **Unlimited seats** by talking to your Affinity representative or reaching out to [support@affinity.co](mailto:support@affinity.co).                                          |
| **Alliances Only** | • Read-only access to your Allies' connections (name and relationship strength score only) as you visit websites and LinkedIn profiles using [Affinity's Pathfinder Chrome Extension](/s/article/Affinity-for-Salesforce-How-to-use-Affinity-s-Pathfinder-Chrome-Extension). • Email/calendar data are **not** visible to your Allies, but they are synced into Affinity to generate these connections. • No access to an Affinity CRM account. | • People outside of your organization whom you'd like to share networks with. • Email/calendar data are **not** shared.                                                                 | • Anyone. No Affinity CRM subscription required, but must [receive an invite](/s/article/How-to-invite-others-to-join-Affinity-Alliances) from an existing Alliances user.                                                                                                              |

* * Full Access does **not** mean you can simply view all the available information in the account. The amount of information you can access may vary depending on the following:
* **Communications privacy settings**: How much information you/your team members want to reveal for your respective synced email/calendar data ([learn more](/s/article/Setting-up-your-privacy-preferences-in-Affinity)).
* **List privacy settings**: For those who have created lists, they can choose whether to share it with no one, everyone, or specific team members ([learn more](/s/article/How-to-share-lists-in-Affinity)).
* **Enterprise Permissions for Enterprise tier customers**: You will only be able to view email/calendar data amongst the immediate members in your team ([learn more](/s/article/Enterprise-permissions-enterprise-only)).

## Important Callouts

* [Affinity Alliances](/s/article/Getting-started-with-Affinity-Alliances) is available for anyone to use, regardless of whether you're an **Affinity CRM** user, **Affinity for Salesforce** user, or neither.
