Onboarding, equipping, and managing employees are all important parts of operating a business. As a unified user management interface, the Zoho One admin panel lets you do all this with ease. Let's examine the different ways you can onboard employees to Zoho One.

This is the most common, and probably the most familiar, way of adding employees. This method is suitable for small businesses growing at a casual rate that only have to add a couple of users at a time. You can add a single user by clicking Add User in the admin panel's Users tab. Here's a detailed article explaining the steps involved.

This method is more suitable for medium-sized businesses migrating their digital operations to Zoho One. Importing allows you to add all your employees (and their details) to Zoho One with just a few clicks. You can import your users by clicking  and then Import in the admin panel's Users tab. Here's a step-by-step guide for importing users.

If you have an extensive Active Directory (AD) footprint that you can't move away from, then AD sync is the best method for you. Our AD sync tool syncs your AD with Zoho One, enabling you to add employees in AD and administer them in Zoho One. Moreover, you can schedule periodic syncs so that the employees you add in the future get automatically onboarded to Zoho One. You can get started by clicking Download in the admin panel's Active Directory tab. Here are a few articles on installing and using the AD Sync tool.

In our next announcements, we'll talk more about adding, importing, and syncing users. Meanwhile, share your feedback in the comments and let us know what else you'd like to learn from us.
