Manage Team Roster and User Status via the MCP Server

Need to provision or audit accounts? The `zoho_list_users` tool gives your crew a complete list of every Zoho CRM user. You get name, email, profile, status, and timezone for quick verification. If you need granular details on one account, the agent uses `zoho_get_user` to pull specific permissions or activity data.

Define Data Visibility and Permission Boundaries

The crew needs to know who sees what. Use `zoho_list_roles` to map out the entire organizational reporting structure in Zoho CRM. This defines the scope of visible records. Complementing this, `zoho_list_profiles` shows which feature sets or permission levels are assigned to various user groups.

Analyze Record Forms and Segmentation for Zoho CRM Admin

Before a record is created, its form needs structure. The `zoho_list_layouts` tool details the sections and field arrangement used on a module's record screen. This keeps data entry consistent. For sales organization, run `zoho_list_territories` to pull all geographic boundaries and managers assigned in Zoho CRM.
