Zoho FSM offers a multi-user environment by supporting different profiles and roles. A Profile defines the set of permissions and accessibility within the application whereas a Role defines a position of a user within the organizational-wide hierarchy. There are four built-in profiles and roles in the Zoho FSM application: Administrator, Customer Service Agent, Dispatcher, and Field Technician. While adding a user, the appropriate role and profile needs to be assigned to it. Thus, you can regulate the access that your users have to the application's features and data.
