The steps to add users to group vary between the two User Interfaces supported in Zoho One. Select the UI version you use from the below tabs and proceed with the steps that follow.
Spaces UI
- Sign in to Zoho One, then click
on the top-right corner. - Go to Groups, then click the group that you need to add users to.
- Click Add Members, then select the users to be added.
- Assign their role in the group.
- Moderators can add or remove members and manage the group's settings.
- Members are the non-privileged users present in the group.
- Followers
are only available in departments. There may be cases where a user
needs to be part of multiple departments. For example, support agents
might need to stay in touch with the Production and Management teams in
order to keep their knowledge bases updated. In those cases, the user
can be added to additional departments as a follower. They will have
access to all the resources of the additional departments, but will only
be considered a Member of their primary department.
