Overview
To create or manage accounts for Admins, Managers, Teamleaders or Agents, you can go to the Admin > Agents (1) Agent list (2) section.
The difference between the different accounts:
- Admin: has full access rights on the Admin page, but cannot make calls.
- Manager: a default manager account has full access rights, but an admin can put limitations on what the manager can see on the Admin page (per sub tab). A manager cannot make phone calls.
- Teamleader: a default teamleader account has full access rights, but an admin can put limitations on what the teamleader can see on the Admin page (per sub tab) and per office. A teamleader cannot make phone calls.
- Agent: can make phone calls from the Agent view. Has no access to the Admin page.
Tip: if you have an existing account that you're happy with, you can copy an account by clicking the menu icon (3) on the right side of the existing account, and then selecting "copy" (4)
