Hi all,

I'm pretty new to Zoho. I'm working with Zoho CRM API to develop a client facing web application. Vendors can log in and access, modify records (specifically products and sales orders) and buyers can see products and invoices.

My idea was to have a Zoho user per client and assign each of them a specific role (vendor, buyer). This way I could set up permissions for them in CRM to have access to the correct data.

The part I'm confused about is whether multiple users can be linked to a specific resource. For example:

There is an organization A. There are two buyer users that work for A. They can't both be owners of A but they both need to access all of A's records.

I've been looking into portals and that seems to be similar to what I'm trying to achieve. Is there a separate type of User (like portals have) that is designed to be shared with Clients?
