How do you deal with data protection within your company

How do you deal with data protection within your company

Hi,

I'm struggling with the lazy data protection within Zoho One.

Our corporate policy is 'separation of concerns'.
Sales take care of the revenue,
Development/Support takes care of building the product and helping the customer.

I think Zoho is too open with corporate data between departments.

As we will use external support agents, I need to prevent revealing too much information, company internals, sales figures, and IPA to the Agents. By default, Agents get to see everything from the CRM, even all deals.

Also, an Admin in one Application may not see all of the information in other applications.

But

If you connect Zoho Desk to Zoho CRM, the Desk administrator can see all information of the CRM, even if he is only in charge of the Desk users/customers and he is not interested in any sales figures and upcoming projects.

In other CRM or ERP solutions, the data access is filtered on the source side of the data, not on the integrated side.
An Administrator of the integrated side must only see the information he would see in the source application or what the administrator of the data source allows him to see. Naturally, he can only populate or grant access to these data in his administration domain. In such systems, a data breach is more unlikely than in Zoho One.

How do you deal with these issues?

      • How to Add Users to your Organization in ZohoMail?

        A better clarity so you can create other users to start using Zoho Mail. You can directly Add Users from the Control Panel to your Organization. You can invite users with the existing email address. If the person (user) already uses ZohoCRM, then you can import users from Zoho CRM. You can also import them using a .csv file. (if you are planning to add them in Bulk)  In this topic, We will be discussing on how to Add and Invite users only.  The Import options are self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

          Since you can not filter or sort time entries by what has and has not been invoiced (you can only see the icon but not separate invoiced from non-invoiced), I would like all time to initially be entered in as un-billable and I can change to billable as I bill them.
