Option to Hide Project Overview for Client Profiles

In Zoho Projects, the Project Overview section is currently visible to client profiles by default. While user profiles already have the option to restrict or hide access to the project overview, the same flexibility isn’t available for client profiles.

It would be very useful to have the ability to hide or customize the Project Overview for clients, especially in cases where certain metrics, budgets, or progress details are sensitive and meant for internal teams only.

Providing this control would help maintain transparency where needed, while also giving project managers the flexibility to limit visibility when appropriate—just as we can already do with user profiles.

Could this feature be added to future updates of Zoho Projects?

Here's the field authorization for user profiles :

And the missing feature for client profiles : 

Thank you!
