Managing Profile Permissions | Online Help - Zoho CRM

Managing Profile Permissions

To make the process of managing profile permissions easier, the permissions have been grouped in such a way that you will have no problem customizing them as needed. You can enable or disable permission in a single click rather than having to go through the hassle of disabling each checkbox. With instant saving, you don't have to worry about losing your progress.

List of Permissions

The module permissions are grouped in the same way that they appear in the CRM and the Setup permissions are grouped similarly to the Setup page, making it easier for you to find them. There are three main sections of permission that are available. With the ability to change the permission in one click, you can easily enable and disable them.


Module Permissions

Module Permissions lets you define which module the users associated with that particular profile will have access to. You can also specify what actions they can perform.

Basic permissions - These permissions are based on the modules. The permissions for actions can be changed by using the check box that is available in the drop-down next to each module permission. Some of the common actions include.
  • View
  • Create
  • Edit
  • Delete
  • Share

Advanced permissions - Permissions like Import / Export, Send Email, Tool and other advanced permissions can be enabled only when their pre-requisite are enabled. For example, a user can send Mass Email only when Send Email permission has been enabled for that profile. This makes sure that users can't exceed their permissions.
Note
  • If you had disabled an advanced, then disable the basic permission and then enable it, the advanced permissions won't enable it automatically. You will have to go enable them manually.
