Profiles in CRM help you define permissions for a set of users. For instance, the permissions required for a person from Sales team might differ from the permissions required by a person in the Marketing team. You can define the permissions for each profile as needed and specify the profile when adding a user.
Default Profiles
By default, two profile permissions are provided. You can only change the permissions for module and no other customisation is possible. The two default profiles are :
- Administrator Profile : This profile has access to all the features in the CRM account.
- Standard Profile : This profile has limited access to the features in the CRM account.
