Manage Users, Roles, and Permissions


As you proceed with setting up the CRM account, your next step will involve adding users and determining their roles and permissions based on which they will perform specific tasks. A user is the one who manages records within the organisation, whether their own or those shared by other users. You can add users based on the edition you have purchased and number of user licences that are allowed. Each user can sign-in to their account with an email address and password. Every user is assigned a role in the CRM based on their hierarchical position within the organisation. By default the CEO and Manager roles are available, you can add more roles based on your company's structure for example, sales manager, sales rep, etc. and set up a role hierarchy. Creating roles will allow you to provide appropriate level of access to the users depending on their position. 

Profile is a collection of permissions that give users access to set of tools and features. Once you have defined the roles of the users you will have better clarity on the type of actions you want them to perform within CRM based on which you can create profiles and assign them to respective users. 

There are two types of default profile permissions available:

  • Administrators: Users who can access the entire system. There must be at least one Administrator for accessing the entire data and features in your CRM account. Example: CEO or top officials or top management.
  • Standard Users: Users who can access data according to the defined permissions (profiles) and roles in the organisation. For example: Sales Managers, Marketing Managers, Support Agents, etc.

Further depending on your businesses needs, you can restrain or permit access to specific features by using the manage profile permission option. Sometimes different team members are needed to pitch in for a particular project or deal. In such cases, you can enable the data sharing rules for an uninterrupted access to a record across teams and departments. 

Users, roles and profiles 

  • Users:  Add users to your CRM account and assign them roles and profiles. Note that only after you add a user in your account, will you be able to add new profiles and roles. For the first user that you add, the system defined role (CEO, Manager) and profile  (Administrator, Standard) can be assigned.

​
  • Profiles: Create profiles that define the access permissions to the various CRM modules and features.
  • Set Up > Users and Control > Security Controls 




  • Roles: Also, set up the organisation-wide hierarchy by creating Roles and assigning it to users.
