Allow Managers to Create Shifts for Their Departments in Zoho People

Allow Managers to Create Shifts for Their Departments in Zoho People

Hello Zoho People Product Team,
Greetings and hope you are doing well.

This feature request is related to Zoho People  - please don't move it to zoho one!

We would like to submit a feature request regarding shift management permissions in Zoho People.

Current Limitation:
At present, only Admins are authorized to create shifts in Zoho People. There is currently no option to grant shift-creation permissions to managers for their own departments.

Feature Request:
Please add the ability to grant managers permission to create and manage shifts for their assigned departments, without requiring full admin access.


Use Case & Value
Many organizations delegate day-to-day scheduling to department managers. Requiring admins to handle all shift creation:

  1. Creates unnecessary operational bottlenecks
  2. Increases admin workload
  3. Reduces flexibility for teams with frequent shift changes

Allowing managers to manage shifts for their departments would:

  1. Improve operational efficiency
  2. Reduce dependency on admins
  3. Better reflect real-world organizational workflows

Thank you for considering this request. We believe this enhancement would significantly improve shift management flexibility in Zoho People.

Kind regards,
Ram

        You can enhance Zoho with custom views - but you cannot hide the pre-defined views. Most users focus on 4 or 5 views. Right now for EVERY user EVERY time they want to move to one of their 4 or 5 views - they have to scroll down past a long list of pre-defined views - we don't use ANY of the pre-defined views.
