Contact Center Roles and Permissions
Choose what permissions you want various contact center roles to have.
Before you begin: You must be
set up as a user and be assigned the
admin role. This can also be done from your
admin portal if you have access permissions.
Contact Center Roles
Assign your users a role within call queues, chat queues, and campaigns.
- GoTo Contact Admin — Contact Admins set up and participate in the deployment of a Contact Center and manage daily operations. The Contact Admin role can assign CC license to PBX users and can assign users to queues as Agents and/or Supervisors. Contact Admins can also configure queues.
- Supervisor — Supervisors manage agents and queues from the GoTo Connect application. Supervisors will monitor logged in users and active queues. The Supervisor role can listen, whisper and barge into live calls and see historical reports for queues and agents.
