                                                                                                                              No, Zoho FSM does not support record-level restrictions. Access is controlled at the module level (e.g., Contacts, Companies) through profile-based permissions, but you cannot restrict access to specific records within those modules.
                                                                                                                            • Can I have different currencies for Contacts and Companies?
