Organization Profile: #

You can set up your organization’s basic profile from this section in the Admin Console. Here, you can change your org’s name, super admin and upload a logo for your organization.

  1. Login to the Zoho Mail Admin Console.
  2. In the Organization menu, go to the Profile section.
  3. Under Organization Info, you will find the Name menu.

Signature Template #

The admins and the super admins can configure a signature template for the organization. A signature, based on the template configured, will be added for all the users in the organization. The signature configured here by the admin cannot be overwritten by the signatures that the users configure for themselves.

This feature will be available only for organizations that are using one of our paid plans.

Preferred Display Name Format #

The admin can choose the preferred format for displaying a user’s name from the Organization Settings section in the Admin Console. 

  1. Login to the Zoho Mail Admin Console.
  2. In the Organization menu, go to the Display Name Format section.
  3. In this section,
  • If you want the First name to be displayed followed by the Last name, select the First Name, Last Name option.
  • If you want the Last name to be displayed followed by the First name, select the Last Name, First Name option.

The names of your organization’s users will be displayed in the preferred order in the User Details section.

Preferred Email Address Format #

The admin can choose the preferred format for creating a user’s email address from the Organization Settings section in the Admin Console. 

  1. Login to the Zoho Mail Admin Console.
  2. In the Organization menu, go to the Email Address Format section.
  3. In this section, select the relevant options from the dropdown lists. 

While creating a new user, when you enter the First Name and Last Name, an email address will get auto-populated in the email address field based on the format chosen.

This format will also be taken into account if you’re importing user details into your organization account. If the First Name and Last Name fields are given, but the Username field is not given, an email address will be created for each user based on the given format.

  2. In the Organization menu, go to the Customized Login section.

Federated Sign In #

Zoho allows users to log in to their Zoho accounts using Apple/Google/Microsoft/LinkedIn/Twitter/Facebook logins. This is called federated sign in.

You can choose whether you want to provide Federated Sign In for your custom login page or not. 

  1. Login to the Zoho Mail Admin Console.
  2. In the Organization menu, go to the Customized Login section.
  3. Using the Federated Sign In toggle, choose to turn ON or OFF the Federated Sign In option for your login page.

Partner Details #

In case your organization is a Child Org under a Partner Admin, your Admin Console will include a Partner Admin Details section under the Organization menu. This section displays the name and email address of the Partner Admin of the Child Organization. The Partner Admin can access the Admin Console of the child organization from the Partner Admin Console. The Admin of the Child Organization can click the Revoke Access option to disable this access. The Partner Admin will no longer be able to access the Child Organization Admin Console once the access is revoked. 

In order to revert the Revoke Access action, the admin of the child organization can contact support@zohomail.com.

If you want to delete your organization account, there are three steps to follow before deleting the organization:

  1. Deleting all your organization users except yourself.
  2. Deleting all your domains.
  3. Cancelling your subscription.
