Roles | Online Help | Zoho Projects

Roles

Define roles for users in your organization and map them to their designations. Users can be mapped to roles and profiles to set access privileges. Zoho Projects gives you four default roles (Administrator, Manager, Employee, and Contractor) which can be edited to suit specific business needs. You can @ mention roles when adding a new status or when adding comments on feeds or any project modules (except direct comments on pages, documents, and forums).

Idea

Sales/ Marketing: Sales executive/ Marketing executive works in a Sales company. This role can be added to the portal.
