Creating custom roles | Zoho Sign

Roles

Available in all paid plans

Customize what data is visible to the user to maintain confidentiality and streamline document workflows. By default, Zoho Sign offers two roles- Admin and User

Zoho Sign follows a flat hierarchy wherein the roles can be customized to access visibility to particular data.

Consider the use case of a Sales team (User group) where five Sales Representatives (SR) work under one Sales Manager (SM). The users who are Sales Representatives can be assigned a role where they will have visibility access to only their own documents or the documents that have been shared from the other users. Meanwhile, the Sales Manager can be customized to have visibility access to all the documents of the Sales team. 

An Administrator can create, manage, and delete roles in a Zoho Sign organization account.


Creating a new role

  1. From your Zoho Sign dashboard, hover your cursor on Settings and click Users and control.
  2. Navigate to the Roles page. 
  3. Select Create role on the top right corner. 
  4. Enter the role name and a unique description for the role. 
  5. Click Create. 
  6. Once you click a role on the list, you can view the list of its users under Associated users. Learn how you can assign roles to users.

Editing a role

  1. Hover over the name of the role and click the pencil icon that appears near the name of the role in the detailed page. 
  2. Edit the details (name and description) and click Save.
