Default Lite User License count is Zero. Admins can purchase licenses from Zoho Store.

For instance, in a healthcare project, admins handle sensitive patient records. Any unauthorized alteration to these records can lead to extreme consequences such as incorrect treatment, data breaches, or compliance violation. To avoid such incidents, users, can be assigned access based on their roles, as Lite Users. Lite User access will allow them to perform only essentials actions like viewing patient information relevant to their role, updating vital data and editing only their owned data. The access will restrict them from editing details that are not owned by them, such as treatment plan, prescriptions or systematic work flows.
