Learn More About Permission Levels (scopes)
What is a Scope?
A Scope, used in the context of your customer Portal, is your User's assigned Permission Level. It is what determines what options you can access for your Extension or domain.
- Some Permission Levels options are dependent on what additional features that have been added on to your domain. For example, the Call Center Supervisor scope is assigned when a domain has added the Call Center Complement, and the User will be managing Agent Routing.
- The Basic and Call Center Agent permission levels have access to only their own Extension options.
- Advanced User, Call Center Supervisor, and Office Manager permission levels have various assigned Manager/Admin capabilities.
Basic User
Basic Users are one of two permission levels with Extension-only access. These Users are designed to make managing your Extension easy and intuitive.
- The options will include: Voicemail, Chat, Texting (if assigned), Faxing (if assigned), Notifications, Profile options, and your own Extension Answering Rules and Call History.
