Authorization Types

Authorizations are defined for different roles.
Note: The object types, Customer Consent and Data Protection Officer (DPO) are not included to any default roles. User adminstrators can grant these rights to users on an individual basis only.

Do not change the original default roles. Copy them and make changes to them according to your needs.

For agents and supervisors you also need to set the user settings template which defines available user interface settings and functions.

Although the idea is that you can run your system with the default roles, note that you may need to make some additions to them. For example, the CC Supervisor role does no longer include the rights to all users. Changed in SP03.

The roles are as follows:

  • The administrator roles enable administration tasks in System Configurator (SC) user interface.

    • System administrator

      The role includes the full access rights to configure Sinch Contact Pro and the rights to view business-related data. All these rights also include the grant rights. This means that the user in the system administrator role is allowed to assign these rights to other users.

    • Queue administrator

      The role includes rights to manage inbound contact center operations. All these rights also include the grant rights apart from a few exceptions that are listed in the Queue Administrator table. For example, this role has rights to view, create, modify, and delete phone extensions but is only allowed to delegate the view right to other users.

    • User administrator

      The role includes rights to manage end-users and functions related to end-users. All these rights also include the grant rights apart from a few exceptions that are listed in the User Administrator table.

    • Outbound administrator

      The role includes rights to manage outbound campaigns. All these rights also include the grant rights.

    • IVR administrator

      The role includes rights to manage custom IVRs. All these rights also include the grant rights apart from a few exceptions that are listed in the IVR Administrator table.

    • Reporting administrator

      The role includes rights to manage settings related to the Reporting and Online Monitoring applications. All these rights also include the grant rights.

  • The end-user roles enable carrying out the described tasks in end-user applications, such as Communication Desktop (CDT), ECF, and IP desk phones, and using external agent and Multiterminal Desktop (MTD) functions.

    • Advanced monitoring administrator

      The role includes rights to monitor contact center activities. No grant rights are included in this role.

    • Contact center supervisor

      This role includes rights to act as a contact center team leader, to manage teams, and to handle customer contacts. No grant rights are included in this role.
