User Management - Users

Users in Zaris CRM are employees of your company who actively use the CRM, each having a unique set of login credentials and access to features. While every user is an employee, not all employees are CRM users. The User field in the Employees module helps identify employees who are also CRM users. When a user is created in Zaris CRM, an employee record is automatically generated, and the User field is enabled. However, creating an employee record does not automatically create a user account, and the User field remains disabled. If an employee record with the same Primary Email as the Username in a user account exists, the system links the user to the corresponding employee record.
