Every user is assigned a role in CRM based on their hierarchical position within the organization. By default, the CEO and Manager roles are available. You can add more roles based on your company’s structure, for example, sales manager, sales rep, etc., and set up a role hierarchy. Making jobs will permit you to give a proper degree of admittance to the clients based on their position.

Roles:

It will allow the admin to share the data among users based on the organization’s role hierarchy. In Zoho CRM, an admin can set up the organization-wide hierarchy using Roles.

This feature allows users to manage default organization permissions and sharing rules. Default organization permissions govern how a user’s records are shared across the organization. To customize settings further, users can add sharing rules, which allow them to set up permissions between two roles, roles and subordinates, and groups.

 

Zoho Mail Add-on Users:

It allows admin users to configure the following settings in the Zoho Mail add-on:

• Admins can lock the settings for Mail Add-on, preventing them from being changed.

Managing the complexities of security administration is one of the growing concerns in any enterprise, especially those with large networks. In such demanding times, strong and functional security management is essential to safeguarding data.

Therefore, in Zoho CRM, the administrator can recreate the organization hierarchy by creating roles and defining profile permissions for each role based on the daily activities they perform. Role-based security ensures that data is accessible to users based on the organization’s hierarchy. Profiles, on the other hand, ensure that users have permission to access only the relevant features in CRM: the various modules, data administration tools, and automation functions they need. Additionally, defining permissions by groups allows you to extend the data-level access to other users with similar job profiles.
