Overview of Custom Roles in Zoho Connect

Feature Availability

Overview

You can use Custom Roles in Zoho Connect, to give individuals the ability to manage specific areas of your network. For example, you can permit one member to add new users to the network while preventing them from removing users. Custom Roles reduce administrative overhead by dividing network admin responsibilities into smaller chunks and assigning them to multiple users.

Who can create a Custom Role? 

By default, only the network administrator can create a Custom Role.
