Authorized Websites

You can grant access to all Zoho services (including Zoho CRM) from trusted third party websites. For example, there may be a case of Zoho resellers & partners requesting for embedding a Zoho account "Sign Up" page in their website. If you grant the request, the third-party site becomes an 'authorized website' and users can access their Zoho account from within reseller's website. The granted Websites will be displayed in the Authorized Website section in Zoho Accounts and from where you can view, or delete the authorized Websites.

To manage authorized websites

  1. Click on your profile dropdown and then click My Zoho Account.

User Sessions

This feature keeps track of all the user sessions for a particular Zoho account. Active sessions for the past 7 days are listed in the sessions screen (including the current session) with additional information like Start Time, IP Address, etc. Users have the option to end individual sessions or end all sessions (excluding the current one).
For example, you have logged in to a Zoho service from your home and for some reason have forgotten to sign out. Your session remains active and when you reach office, you realized that the previous session was not closed. In such instances, Zoho Accounts User sessions helps you to check all active sessions and close the sessions. It also helps you to identify any unauthorized access to your accounts by checking session details such as Started time, Connected From IP Address and Action.

To view user sessions

  1. Click on your profile dropdown and then click My Zoho Account.
  2. Click Sessions > Active Sessions > Current session.
  3. Click Close to close the specific session, or Close All Other Sessions to close all sessions (other than Current Session).
