Here are the descriptions of our user types in CloudTalk, as well as an authorization overview for each user's access to dashboard features.
User Levels
User levels in CloudTalk create clarity for a user's role in your company. They strengthen the security posture of your organization by ensuring that employees have access only to the materials they need to perform job duties. In CloudTalk, we have five types of users within our dashboard:
Administrators (Admin)
Admin Partners
Supervisors
Analysts
Agents
When configuring users for your account, it is helpful to understand the purpose behind each user type so that you can map appropriate types to employees in your company.
Administrators (Admin)
Admin have the highest level of access privilege. They are able to configure global account settings and add or remove other users. Admin users are typically the account executives, account managers, technical managers or integration specialists who are responsible for your company's implementation with CloudTalk.
Admin Partners
Not every company has admin partner users. These only exist in company configurations where billing for your organization is handled by a different entity or "partner" account.
An admin partner user only has access to billing and number request information for their connected accounts, as this relates to their primary role.
Supervisors
Supervisors have access to additional features compared to agents but do not have full admin privileges. They can manage campaigns, use call monitoring tools to join calls, and view group and user details in read-only mode. This includes essential information like names, emails, extensions, roles, and statuses, enabling better call transfers and team coordination without the ability to make changes. This user type typically maps to sales or support managers who need some overview of their agents, but not to the level of account configuration.
Analysts
Analysts primarily focus on data analysis and forecasting, with access to analytics and statistics within the dashboard. They also have read-only access to group and user details to support coordination efforts while maintaining data integrity.
Agents
Agents are granted limited access to global account data and features. They can manage contacts and participate in assigned campaigns. Additionally, agents have read-only access to group and user information, including real-time statuses, to streamline call transfers and check team availability.
