The content in this article is appropriate for: Administrators and Supervisors

Adding team members, setting up new hires, assigning permissions, and promoting users are all easy with SC ACD's Agent Management tool.

Covered in this article:

 

Account Types 

There are 3 basic account types:

  • Agent
    This is the most basic type of account. Agent accounts are set up to take calls on SC ACD by their assignments to particular programs and teams. They can be associated with certain Abilities and/or Skills which can also be weighted in order to ensure that calls are routed based on that criteria. Agents can also be granted permissions for the following:

    • viewing, running and modifying dashboards in SC Analytics,

    • viewing reports, test calls, etc. at the Program level

    • viewing elemental call data at the Media Agency level

  • Supervisor
    This type of account can do everything an Agent can do, with the addition of the following:

    • create/manage user accounts

    • reset passwords

    • unlock accounts

    • view programs and campaigns

    • access the Supervisor module

  • Administrator
    This type of account can do everything that Agents and Supervisors can do, but they also have the ability to:

    • access the Administrator module

    • manage module access for groups

    • access API feeds and integrations

💡Various levels of permissions can also be assigned to accounts, regardless of type. For more information on permissions, see the following articles:

Creating a New Account

Step-by-step creation of a new SC ACD account.

  • Click on Agent Management in the left-hand navigation bar
    *Only users with Supervisor or Administrator-type accounts are able to access the Agent Management section.

  • Click on Create a New Agent in the left-hand navigation bar OR the New Agent button at the top of the grid

  • On the New Agent page:

    • Agent ID: numbers only, no maximum
      💡If this field is left blank, SC ACD will auto-assign the ID as one number higher than the ID that was last assigned.

    • First name: agent's given name

    • Last name: surname*
      *You will be prompted to enter information in the above 2 fields if they are left blank.

    • Unique user name: Clicking in this text box causes a unique username to be auto-generated. It will be the text from the first and last name fields, separated by an underscore. This can be left as is, or amended as needed.

    • Initial password: Automatically generated and can not be modified. This password should be supplied to the new user and they will be prompted to change it after their initial login.
