You can add users to your organization and grant them access to individual applications in Zoho CRM Plus. This allows you to manage users and their application access to Zoho CRM Plus's features and functions, making it easy to limit who has access to the different types of data within your organization.

For example, customer support personnel may need access to Zoho Desk and Projects, but not Campaigns or Social.

CRM Plus Administrators or users with user management permissions in the Admin Panel are responsible for managing user access for your organization. They can perform the following actions in the Users page.

• Add Users
• Assign Applications to Users
• View Applications Assigned to Users
• Update Application Access for Users
• Disable or Enable Application Access for Users
• Resend Invitation to Users

In addition, CRM Plus Administrators can also perform the following actions:

• Assign CRM Plus Administrators
• De-activate or Activate a User
• Export Users Data
• Delete User Accounts
• Revoke Administrative Privileges for a User in CRM Plus.

Note: The total number of users you can add depends on the number of user licenses you have purchased. For example, if you purchase 40 licenses, you can add a total of 40 unique users to Zoho CRM Plus, regardless of how many applications each user has access to.

You can also delete users if they no longer require access to Zoho CRM Plus. To delete users, you must be a CRM Plus Administrator or an Owner.

When you try to delete a user, you will receive a message that the user will be deleted permanently and you cannot undo the action. If you confirm deletion, the user will be permanently deleted from your CRM Plus account.

Notes:

• The data managed or associated with the user will not be deleted from the respective applications.
• If you want to add the same user again later, you can add them as a new user in CRM Plus.

Customizing mandatory fields: The following table lists the applications in CRM Plus, fields that must be assigned in each application when users are granted access, and how to customize the details displayed in these mandatory fields.

Add Users

Adding new users to CRM Plus is easy, but there are a few things to know before you start. The total number of users you can add depends on the number of user licenses you have purchased. For example, if you have purchased 40 licenses, you can add a total of 40 unique users to Zoho CRM Plus.

When users are added to Zoho CRM Plus from the Users page, an email invite will be sent to them. Users will be added as active users only if they accept the invitation. Until then, the status of the users will be 'pending'.

Adding Unlimited Users to Projects and the Desk Application

When you add users to CRM Plus, you can add unlimited users to Projects in different roles and add them to Desk with Light Agent role. Users who are only assigned to Projects and/or as Light Agents in Desk are called Light Users.

If you assign a Light User to any other application, the user will be counted against the number of user licenses you have purchased. For example, you want to add SalesIQ or Campaigns for a user who is already assigned as a Light Agent in Desk. You'll be able to add this user only if you have user license available in Zoho CRM Plus.

After you add and grant access to users, you can disable access to specific applications for them. The access privileges available for each application will differ based on the user's status. For example, if a user with the 'pending' status is assigned access to Campaigns, you'll find Edit and Unassign options displayed when you hover the cursor below the Campaigns column for that username in the Users page. But if the user status is 'active', you'll see the Edit, Enable, or Disable options. You can click Edit to update application access, or click Disable or Unassign to remove application access for that user.

The following table lists the applications and access privileges for each application for pending and active users.

To add a user:

1. Access the Admin Panel. The Users tab will be selected by default with the Users page displayed on the right side of the page.
