    Create users and manage access and account properties.

    Introduction

    A user is anyone who works in your contact center who administers the contact center, supervises agents, analyzes data, or handles interactions (agents). Manage user accounts in the Users page. To access the Users page, from the Voiso main menu, navigate to Users > Users.

    Users Users Page

    The following information is displayed for each user:

    PropertyDescription
    User nameThe real name of the person
    E-mailThe email address the person uses to log into their Voiso account. If you use a Voiso CRM integration, this email address should be the same address that the person uses to log into your contact center {{glossary.CRM}}.
    ExtensionThe three- to four-digit extension of the user's phone. The extension is dialable by other users who have access to the Agent Panel.
    TeamsThe team to which the user belongs.
    Employee IDAn optional string that you can use to associate an ID from your organization with the user. You can search in the User page for a user based on their Employee ID.
    Access groupThe user's role. A role determines what access permissions a user has in your contact center. The default roles are {{glossary.Admin}}, {{glossary.Agent}}, {{glossary.Analyst}}, {{glossary.Hardware Phone}}, and {{glossary.Supervisor}}. If Security Access Groups are enabled for your contact center, you can create custom roles. Click the name of a security access group to view the access group settings.
    2FA statusThe current two-factor authentication status for an agent. Disabled means 2FA is not assigned to the user. Pending means that 2FA is assigned to the user, but the user has not yet followed the setup procedure. Activated means the user has completed the setup procedure.

    Adding a user

    There are two ways to add users to your contact center. The first is to manually add users one at a time, and the second is to import a {{glossary.CSV}} of user properties.

    To add a single user, from the Voiso main menu, navigate to Users > Users then, to display the Add user page, click Add new user. Specify the user properties, then click Save.

    Important

    When you save a new user profile or update the email of an existing user, Voiso automatically sends an email to the specified address. The recipient must confirm the email address to activate the user account.

    Importing user accounts

    You can bulk import a list of users from a {{glossary.CSV}} file. First, create a CSV file of users and user properties following the user template. The CSV file can be created in a spreadsheet or text editor.

    To import a list of new user accounts from a CSV file that you have created, click CSV import. Navigate to the file on your computer, then click Upload.

    You can view the new user accounts on the Users page.

    Important

    If the Security Access Groups feature is enabled for your contact center, you cannot modify the settings associated with the user role (specified in the {{glossary.ACL}} column in the CSV file) you assign to the user.

    The user account template

    To download a template that you can use to create multiple users, click Download CSV template. Open the template file in a spreadsheet or text editor and add all your users to the file.

    Important

    The template contains all the fields required for creating new users or modifying existing users. You might receive an error when you import the CSV back into Voiso if you miss filling out any required fields or include unsupported data.

    Exporting user accounts

    You can export a list of users as a {{glossary.CSV}} file. The format of the file follows the user template CSV file. You can view the file in a spreadsheet or text editor. You can make changes to the file and then import it back into the database of users.

    Tip

    To find the exported CSV file, look in your Downloads folder for a file named users-YYYY-MM-DD.csv

    Modifying user account properties

    There are two ways to modify user account properties: the first is to import a CSV file of user properties to overwrite the properties of existing users, and the second is to manually edit a user profile.

    To manually edit a user account, click the name of the user in the Agent name column to open the Edit user page. Modify the user properties as needed, then click Save.

    User Profile

    User's can view some account properties and manage their user interface settings by using the User Profile menu.
