A fresh interface and functionality improvements for Zoho CRM's data sharing settings
Data sharing is essential for maintaining proper access controls in your CRM. Whether you're setting default permissions or defining custom sharing rules, these settings determine how records are shared among users, roles, and groups.
What's improved?
To address these challenges, we've revamped Zoho CRM's data sharing settings in terms of UI and functionality. So without further ado, let's jump into the details.
Two dedicated tabs for better navigation
Default organization permissions and sharing rules are now structured into two separate tabs.
Default Organization PermissionsThis tab enables users to define organization-wide access for each module. While the structure remains the same, the permission selection is now presented as a picklist-style dropdown for better clarity and ease of use.
This ensures a clearer and more structured approach to managing default access.The most significant update is in the Sharing Rules tab, which now provides a structured, module-specific display of all existing sharing rules.
Sharing Rules: A new detailed view
Key enhancements in the Sharing Rules tab
A more organized rule list
- The list now provides a clearer, more structured view by grouping sharing rules based on the module to which they belong, such as Leads, Contacts, Deals, and Accounts, eliminating unnecessary gaps and making navigation more efficient.
- New columns and interactive elements have been introduced to display key details at a glance, such as shared from, shared to, permission levels, last modified user and time, and status. This ensures you can quickly access and manage sharing rules without needing to open each one individually.
Activate or deactivate rules instantly
You can now instantly activate or deactivate sharing rules with a single click. The new toggle button provides greater flexibility in managing data access without the hassle of deleting and recreating rules.
Clone a rule
We've introduced an option to clone a rule within the same module. For example, if you have an existing rule for sharing leads from your eastern region and need a similar rule for your western region, you can simply clone the rule, update the name and configurations as needed, and use it.
Search and filtering options for easy access
Finding specific rules is now faster and more intuitive with the new search bar and advanced filtering options.
- Search by rule name: The search bar enables you to find a rule via its name. Simply enter a rule name and matching results are fetched dynamically.
- Module filter: You can also use the dropdown to view rules for a specific module or across all modules.
- Filter rules: You can further refine the search based on your requirement with options such as:
- Shared from (filter by a specific role or group)
- Shared to (select a target role or group)
- Superiors inclusion (filter rules that include or exclude superior roles)
- Status (active/inactive)
Created and last modified details
You can now easily track when a rule was created and last modified directly within the rule configuration page. Additionally, the Last Modified column provides a quick view of the date, time, and user details so you can monitor recent changes without needing to open each rule individually.
What stays the same?
These UI changes do not affect the core functionality of data sharing settings:
- Default permissions work the same way, with only some UI refinements.
- The rule creation process remains unchanged, except for minor layout improvements.
- Existing sharing rules remain intact and function as before.
These updates do not require any action from users. While the core functionality remains unchanged, the enhancements provide greater flexibility in managing data sharing with improved controls, navigation, and usability.
That's all for these enhancements. Let us know your feedback in the comments.
These enhancements are being rolled out in a phased manner, and are currently available for users in the AU DC.
Thanks,
Nizamuddin

Just wondering if anyone else is having troubles with this integration? Seems as though Avalara changed their billing process, unbeknownst to Zoho, and now ALL transactions are counted by Avalara, not just transactions in a taxable jurisdiction. This caused a huge price adjustment billed to us by Avalara within a month of us signing up. And Avalara is not cheap to begin with!
