Creating user accounts in Sinch Contact Pro

Note:

Always create required users and user groups in the All Users group, or its subgroups. Otherwise you cannot manage them properly.

Adding an extension number is required even for agents that only use chat or other messaging services. Plan the numbers with the help of the Number Viewer, you can open it with a button in the upper right corner of the user account view, or by selecting System Management > Number Range.

Copying users

To create a user account by copying a sample user account:

  1. On the System Configurator main screen, choose User and Role Management > Users and click Search.

  2. Select the sample user, for example to create an agent, select Sample Agent1.

    For other user roles, select Sample Superuser or Sample Supervisor1, or one of the users you have created.

  3. Click Copy and:

    • Enter the First Name and Last Name.

    • Enter the Number.

    • Select options Roles (this adds the role CC Agent to the user) and Settings (this applies the settings template Communication Panel Agent to the user).

  4. Click Add

  5. The user configuration view appears. Define other required settings. If you are copying a sample user that is not located in your group, remember to add the user into a subgroup of All Users in the Groups panel.

Creating users manually

To create a user manually:

  1. On the System Configurator main screen, choose User and Role Management > Users and click Add New. The user configuration view appears.
