Administrator Guide

The Zoho People administrator guide covers the settings and tools that a Zoho People administrator uses to configure and maintain the system for their organisation. It is aimed at HR administrators, IT staff and anyone given administrator rights in Zoho People.

What administrators manage

Administrators control how Zoho People looks and behaves for everyone else: the home screen experience, developer tools for extending the platform, and data administration tasks such as backups, sandboxes and the recycle bin.

What this guide covers

• Data Administration: localisation, data backup, copy customisation, sandbox testing and the recycle bin.
• Home Tab: the My Space and Team Space areas employees and managers use every day.
• Developer Space: connections, widgets and extensions for integrating Zoho People with other systems.

Use this guide alongside the Getting Started articles when setting up a new Zoho People account, and refer back to it whenever you need to change organisation-wide settings.
