Use case

ABC Constructions is a construction company owned by a corporation. The employees of this construction company should be able to access only the applications that are necessary for their role. Corporate has been looking for an option to restrict these users from accessing other applications. When Zoho Directory is integrated with Zoho Projects, the admins of the organization can control this.

 

The construction company's admin can integrate Zoho Directory with Zoho Projects. Now, in the Zoho Directory's console, the admin can add the applications that the users need to access and select the users who can access that application.

 

In the below screenshot, you can view that the Zoho Projects application has been added to the Directory console. Click the application to add users who need to access Zoho Projects.

Benefits

1. Provide access to authorized users only.
   
2. Gain access to multiple applications with a single authorization.

Note:

Only users with administrator profiles in both Zoho Projects and Zoho Directory can configure this integration.
