User Roles

Using roles, Live Experience distinguishes between the following kinds of users: associates, supervisors, and administrators.

  • An associate has access to the Live Experience Associate Desktop to engage with customers, either by answering incoming engagements that are routed to them, or by directly calling or engagement with customers.
  • A supervisor has limited access to the Live Experience Admin Console. Supervisors can view the Service Overview Dashboard, search for engagement details, and play back recorded engagements.
  • An administrator has complete access to the Live Experience Admin Console. Administrators can enable and disable features, create and modify users and teams, create and modify engagement scenarios, view the Service Overview Dashboard, view reports, search for engagement details, and play back recorded engagements.

When assigning roles, assign a user the role with the minimum level of privilege required for them to do their job effectively. You should end up with only a handful of administrators, a number of supervisors that represent your organization's managerial structure, and most of your users assigned only the Associate role.

You can grant multiple roles to your users to give them access to multiple interfaces.
