Convert external user to organization user

A user in Zoho One is considered to be external if their Zoho account is associated with another organization. Converting an external user as your organization user will allow you to edit, update their account details. You can also manage their account settings and perform actions such as resetting their password, creating a mailbox, assigning them as an admin, and monitoring their account activity. Additionally, you can enroll, assign, and manage devices for them. As an organization user, they can request additional apps other than the apps you've assigned to them.
