Portals in Zoho CRM are a self-service window that allows external users like customers, vendors or partners to view, create or edit records based on their permission. These external users who are given access to a portal are portal users.
Portal users can be invited only from the Zoho CRM web app.
Examples of portal users

- Franchise owners viewing outlet performance
