Contact center user roles
Roles in Voximplant Kit define user permissions to access specific data and features in the contact center. Voximplant Kit support 5 roles: Agent, Supervisor, Manager, Administrator, and Owner. You ascribe roles to users in the Setup > Contact center > Users section.
Contents
Agent
An Agent is a person who carries out the functions of the contact center. Agents handle inbound and outbound communication with customers, follow various communication scripts, and make conversation notes. Agents answer calls from queues and process conversation chats.
Agents can edit their profile settings (avatar, interface language and timezone), but cannot change their email addresses. Agents cannot edit their account details (role, skills, conversation settings).
Agents can use the softphone to perform outbound calls if this functionality is enabled in the Setup > General settings > Call permissions or Setup > Contact center > Users (groups) sections for all users or for the user group.
User group settings override general settings.
The following Voximplant Kit sections are available for agents:
Workspace
Call history (with limitations, see the table below)
Messaging history (with limitations, see the table below)
Missed calls history (with limitations, see the table below)
Supervisor
A Supervisor is responsible for leading a group or groups of agents in the contact center. You can assign supervisors to queues or PDS campaigns to help them control how their group agents perform in these queues or campaigns.
Supervisors manage agents of their groups: edit and mass edit their settings (skills, max. chats, and notify agents), monitor live conversations, listen to call recordings, and review live and historical reports. Supervisors can view user profiles of their agents in a display-only mode.
Supervisors with editor permissions can move their groups' agents between the reporting queues and PDS campaigns (in Live monitoring).
Supervisors can view live statistics and reports of their managed groups, queues, and PDS campaigns in the following scope:
A supervisor can access the Live monitoring > Groups section to see performance indicators of their groups and assigned agents.
A supervisor can access the Live monitoring > Queues section to review the summary table and Queue performance dashboard of the assigned queues. A supervisor can see the Agents performance table to review metrics of the managed group agents assigned to the supervisor's queue.
A supervisor can access the Live monitoring > PDS campaigns section to review the summary table and PDS campaign performance dashboard of the assigned campaigns. A supervisor can see the Agents performance table to review metrics of the managed group agents assigned to the supervisor's campaign.
If a supervisor does not lead any group but manages a queue or campaign, they see only queue/campaign statistics (without agents). If a supervisor leads an agent group but does not manage the queue/campaign the group agents are assigned to, the queue/campaign metrics are not available to this supervisor.
A supervisor can access the Live monitoring > Agents section to monitor performance indicators of the managed group agents.
A supervisor has access to the Reports > Groups section to review reports of the managed groups.
A supervisor has access to the Reports > Queues section to review reports of the managed queues.
A supervisor has access to the Reports > PDS campaigns section to review reports of the managed campaigns.
A supervisor has access to the Reports > Agents section to review reports of the managed group agents.
A supervisor has access to the Reports > Overview section to review statistics of the managed queues.
Supervisors can edit their profile settings (avatar, email address and password, interface language and timezone). Supervisors cannot edit their account details (role, skills, conversation settings).
The following Voximplant Kit sections are available for supervisors:

Manager
A Manager is responsible for agents and agent group supervisors in the contact center. Managers make sure that the agents and supervisors they oversee meet the company’s goals and provide high-quality service.
Managers can view real-time metrics of the contact center, monitor live conversations, and review historical statistics and reports.
Managers can edit their profile settings (avatar, email address and password, interface language and timezone) and account details, except their roles (skills, conversation settings). Managers can invite, edit, and block users with the Supervisor and Agent roles.
Managers can edit the contact center settings in the following scope:
General settings: managers can edit call permissions, contact details, and dialing settings, but cannot change statuses.
Extensions: managers can generate/change extensions.
Channels: managers can create SMS channels. Cannot create channels associated with functions and API tokens.
Skills: managers can create, edit, and remove skills, but cannot remove a skill if it is assigned to an employee.
Tags: managers can create, edit, and remove tags that are not used in any scenario.
Topic sets: managers can create, edit, and remove topic sets, but cannot remove a topic set if it is assigned to a queue/channel/campaign. Can manage topics nested in a topic set.

Administrator
An Administrator is responsible for constructing various components and workflows of the contact center and applying real-time changes as necessary.
Administrators can work with scenarios, operate campaigns, purchase and delete telephone numbers, generate API tokens, create functions, etc. They can invite and edit users with the Agent, Supervisor, and Manager roles.
Administrators can edit their profile settings (avatar, email address and password, interface language and timezone) and account details, except their roles (skills, conversation settings).
Administrators have access to the entire functionality of Voximplant Kit, except the Billing section.
Owner
By default, the system assigns the Owner role to the user who created the account. This is the only role until you purchase the contact center functionality.
The Owner has access to the entire functionality of Voximplant Kit with no exceptions.
Only Owners can access the Billing section.
If required, you can transfer the Owner role to the users with the Administrator role. For that, go to Settings > Users and select the account owner. Then click the Actions menu icon and select Edit user. In the Your role section, click Transfer ownership and select the admin to whom you want to transfer the Owner role.
