Client facing web application for vendors and buyers

Client facing web application for vendors and buyers

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?

Thanks,
Jacopo
