Users and Employee Profiles

Once you have setup the details of your organization, the next step is to add your employees to your organizational account. In Zoho People, there are more than one ways in which you can add users to your organization.

Before that, let's distinguish the two types of employees that can be added in Zoho People:

• Users – These are employees who will have an email address and password and will be able to login to their account. They can access their self service and perform actions such as apply leave, submit timesheets, submit self appraisal etc. First name, Last name, Employee ID and Email Address are mandatory fields for adding a User. Learn more about Users.
• Employee Profiles or Non-Users – These are employees who cannot login to their account. These employees' details are maintained by the organization in the account. Security staff, contract workers can be examples of such employees. Since these employees cannot login to their account, based on set permissions, their manager or the Admin can apply leave or submit timesheets for them. Employee ID and First name alone are mandatory fields for adding an Employee Profile/ Non-User. Learn more about Employee Profiles.
