In this section you find the description of the features that Vidaoo offers to a User (The solution is different if you are a user or an administrator!)
A User is a member of the Vidaoo Service within a specific Account, who can only use non-administrative functions (the latter are the responsibility of the System Administrator).
The Administrator can define different types of access to the Vidaoo platform by assigning or limiting certain permissions to groups of Users: to do this, he/she just define the Role that each group of Users must have and set each User's profile with it.
Login to Vidaoo
To log in as User go to: https://vidaoo.xcally.com/login-as-user
and enter:
the ID of your Account (this information must be given to you by the Vidaoo Administrator)
the User name or email (same as above)
the User password (same as above)
The Menu that is displayed to the User and the list of functions available depend on the Authorizations linked to the Role chosen for this account by the Administrator (in the example below the User is an Agent):
Following your profile data, you will find some Dashboard Cards, in which some of the User are shown (e.g. Upcoming Meetings, Recordings), like the following example:
Users Roles
The default Roles for a Vidaoo User are:
Account (usually used by the Vidaoo Account Manager or Administrator), which has a full control of all the Vidaoo functions
Developer (a role of whoever has the function of developing solutions on Vidaoo)
Agent
Kiosk
| Section | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
In this section we will deal with the menu sections and commands that are available to users with a profile belonging to a standard role (Agent or Kiosk).
|
In addition to these default roles, the Administrator can create custom Roles and assign specific permissions to the users who belong to them: it follows that the menu and the commands that will be available for a User will be directly related to the Role that has been assigned to that User.
The Agent's Role
