Create a Zoho CRM profile without delete or export rights

The Zoho CRM AI Assistant clones a profile, such as Standard, and turns off rights such as delete and export on the copy, for an intern or a temporary user. It shows every right it will change and asks for your final confirmation first.

Zoho CRM AI Assistant is a Chrome extension that opens beside Zoho CRM. Tell it what you want to do in plain language, and it works with your CRM for you. Try Plus free for 14 days, then stay on Free forever.

the problem

The intern needs access, but not to everything

An intern starts on Monday and needs to work with leads and deals. They should not delete records or export the customer list. The Standard profile allows both, and building a new profile by hand means going through dozens of rights module by module.

the solution

Clone the profile, switch rights off, confirm

Say which profile to start from, what to call the copy and which rights to turn off:

Clone the Standard profile as "Intern" and turn off delete and export on the copy. Show me the rights before you change anything.

It reads the source profile with all its rights and lists the ones that match your request, so you see exactly which delete and export rights it will turn off. It then clones the profile with its current rights and no users, and turns those rights off on the copy. Each step asks for your final confirmation, in every permission mode.

The new profile has no users. Assign the intern to it in Zoho CRM Setup; the assistant does not change a user's profile.

  • Reads profiles and their rights.
  • Writes a new profile and up to 25 right changes on it, each only after your final confirmation.
  • Changes custom profiles only. Zoho's system profiles are refused.
  • Every user assigned to the profile later gets every change made to it.

Every new account gets 14 days of Plus free — no card, nothing to claim — and then settles onto Free, which is permanent. In the side panel every plan has the same safety controls and supported actions, and they differ in how much you can ask for each week. The MCP connector is included in every paid plan (Plus, Pro and Max) and in the 14-day Plus trial, with the same 10,000 tool calls a month on each.

How to do it by hand in Zoho CRM

You can do this in Zoho CRM yourself. Here are the steps.

  1. Open Zoho CRM Setup and go to Profiles.
  2. Clone the Standard profile and give the copy a name.
  3. Open the copy and turn off the delete rights on each module, and the export right.
  4. Save, then assign the user to the new profile.

Cloning is quick. It gets slow when the rights you want off are spread across many modules and you have to find each one.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. It makes a copy and changes only the copy. Users on Standard keep exactly the rights they had.
