Privileges

Nav-icon.png

Contact Center Administrator > Roles > Properties Tab


Registered users of your Bright Pattern Contact Center solution are assigned privileges that can be used to control access to various contact center functions. Privileges are arranged in the same way as they appear on the Roles page of the Contact Center Administrator application. For general information about privileges and roles, see section Roles.

Privileges are organized into seven categories (i.e., groups):


Info.40x40.png Some service configuration changes that affect agent behavior are not picked up dynamically by Agent Desktop. After making changes to privileges, Bright Pattern Contact Center recommend that all affected agents re-login to Agent Desktop. Any supervisors using these privileges apply toward the contact center's use license limit (i.e., the number of allowed supervisors).


Interaction Handling

Access full-screen Agent Desktop
The Access full-screen Agent Desktop privilege allows users to enable full-screen Agent Desktop view within CRM applications. Because CRM systems typically have their own email and case management capabilities, the full-screen mode normally would be used by supervisors only.
Create personal chat invitation link

The Create personal chat invitation link privilege lets users view the Create direct chat invitation link button in Agent Desktop. Clicking this button generates a direct chat URL that agents can send to a client so they can continue an ongoing interaction using chat.

Delete contacts
The Delete contacts privilege allows the deletion of contacts. If enabled, users can delete individual contacts via the Agent Desktop. When a contact is deleted, its activity history is deleted too. Cases are not deleted automatically.
Edit contacts
The Edit contacts privilege provides write access to contacts. If enabled, users can create new contacts and modify any fields in existing contacts (but not activity history).
Force pop-out phone window
The Force pop-out phone window privilege allows the user to open Agent Desktop in a pop-out window. For more information, see section Understanding Screen-Pop of the Agent Guide.


Info.40x40.png Enabling this privilege is generally not recommended for delivering activity forms or other web content to agents via screen pop. If the user has any privileges in the Supervision group (see below), the user will not be able to open Agent Desktop in a pop-out window even if the user has this privilege.


Handle automatically distributed interactions
The Handle automatically distributed interactions allows users to receive calls from a service queue and preview records. This basic privilege allows the user to perform typical call center agent work (i.e., provide services over the phone and participate in outbound campaigns). The ability to handle customer chat or email interactions is controlled via separate privileges (see Handle email and cases and Handle service chat).
Handle email and cases
When enabled, the Handle email and cases privilege allows users to handle email interactions with customers as well as create and process customer cases, which may include interactions of any media type.
Handle leads
Reserved.
Handle service chats
With the Handle service chats privilege, the user may handle chat interactions with customers. This includes chat interactions started by customers via SMS.


Info.40x40.png The ability to initiate a chat with a customer via SMS is controlled by the Initiate SMS conversation privilege. The Send internal chats privilege controls the ability to use internal chat.

With this privilege, the user may review call recordings and chat transcripts of the services that the user is qualified to handle (i.e., has corresponding service skills).
Listening to own call recordings and view own chat transcripts
This privilege provides Agent Desktop users the capability, via activity history, to access recordings where the agent participated (at least partially). This privilege applies to Agent Desktop only.
Login to Agent Desktop
Login to Agent Desktop allows users to log into Agent Desktop and perform basic back-office telephony functions. Any user needing access to Agent Desktop must have this privilege.


Info.40x40.png This privilege alone is insufficient for performing typical contact center agent work. Any user who logs into Agent Desktop will be counted as a concurrent user for the duration of the login session. Service providers may impose a limit on how many users may be logged on concurrently.


Login to Mobile app
This privilege is required in order to allow users to log into the Bright Pattern Contact Center Mobile app. The Mobile app allows users to handle customer interactions from a supported Android or iOS device. For more information, see the Mobile App Admin Guide.


Info.40x40.png This privilege is not included in any predefined roles.


Make external calls
A user with the Make external calls privilege may make external calls and blind transfers to external destinations from Agent Desktop. If the user does not have this privilege, an attempt to make an external call or blind transfer results in an error message displayed on Agent Desktop.


Info.40x40.png The absence of this privilege does not prevent users from making external calls using the dial pad of their hardphones.


Mask interaction content
The Mask interaction content privilege allows users to mask fragments of original customer email text, chat text, and images. For more information, see section How to Mask Sensitive Data of the Agent Guide.


Info.40x40.png Prior to Bright Pattern Contact Center version 5.10.0, this setting was previously known as Mask original email content.

Send internal chats
The Send internal chats privilege allows the user to initiate internal chat conversations.
Start recording of interactions
With this privilege, the user may start call recording.
Stop recording of interactions
Stop recording of interactions allows the user to stop call recording.

When enabled, View content of all emails allows users to view the contents of all email interactions, including those not associated with the services they are skilled to handle.
