Managing multiple clients can get complex. But with the Zoho PageSense Agency Module, we’ve built a system that makes permissions and access crystal clear for everyone involved. This guide breaks down the different user roles, what they can (and can’t) do, and how you can manage them effectively inside your agency setup.
Why roles matter
In an agency setting, not everyone needs the same level of access. Some team members handle subscriptions and licenses, while others run experiments or simply need to view reports. That’s where roles come in.
When your agency signs up for Zoho PageSense, you start with access to the core modules such as Website, Mobile, and FullStack. Your team members are assigned roles like Admin, Project Owner, Editor, or Viewer, each with varying levels of control within these modules.
However, once your agency enrolls in the Zoho PageSense Agency Plan, a whole new layer of functionality is unlocked: the Agency Module. This module is activated from the backend and brings with it a new set of permissions specifically designed to help agencies manage multiple clients seamlessly.
Let’s break down how roles are structured across the agency environment:
Level 1: Primary Agency Account Roles (Before and After Enabling the Agency Module)
These roles exist in your main Zoho PageSense account and determine access to the core modules (Website, Mobile, Fullstack) and agency module.
Role | Access to Core Modules | Access to Agency Module |
Admin | Full Access | Full Access |
Project Owner | Full Access | View-Only |
Editor | Edit Access | View-Only |
Viewer | View-Only | View-Only |
Agency Manager (New Role) | View-Only | Full Access |
Note: Only Admin and Agency Manager can perform actions within the Agency Module. Other roles (Project Owner, Editor, Viewer) can see the module but cannot perform any operations inside it.
Level 2: Inside the Agency Module – Managing Clients
Once the Agency Module is enabled, your agency can start adding clients. Every client gets their own dedicated Zoho PageSense account with:
A unique Org ID
Separate user roles and permissions
Full isolation from other client data
Only Admins and Agency Managers can create and manage client accounts from the Agency Dashboard.
Level 3: Client Account Roles
Each client account functions like an independent Zoho PageSense portal. The agency team can add users with the following roles inside a client account:
Role | Access in Client Portal |
Admin | Full Access (Agency Manager that creates the client gains Admin access in client portal by default) |
Project Owner | Full access to experiments, user management, etc. |
Editor | Can edit and launch experiments |
Viewer | Can only view reports and data |
Note: The Agency Manager who creates the client is automatically added as an Admin in that client’s portal. Admins at the agency level aren’t automatically added to client accounts created by an Agency Manager. Instead, they receive an email invite, and must accept it to gain admin access to specific client accounts.
