Users
Users can be either Administrators or Supervisors: they belong to the same Staff category (Users) but they have a different role (Admin role versus User role).
Admin Role: all the Modules will be available, as well as any Channel Queue access
User Role: access to specific (or all) Modules and Channel Queues or other resources will follow the User Profile assigned to the User (it must be chosen during the user creation).
Create a User
To create a User with Admin or User Role click the + insert New User button under the Users Section:
To create an Admin Role Choose Admin
To create an User Role Choose User and select the proper User Profile from the list (the User Profile must be created in advance by the related section)
Then enter User Full Name, Username, Email and Password:
Username is used to login (only letters, numbers or special characters like ._ are allowed)
Email: the User email address. This field is used to receive a link to reset the password anytime the user forgets it
Password: insert here the password. According XCALLY Motion Security rules, if the Security Suite is enabled, it must contain least 8 characters and have at least 1 lowercase character, one uppercase character, one numeric character and one of the following special characters ~!@#$%^&-_=+[{]}.
By default, an internal number (Extension) associated to the User is automatically generated. If you like, you can manually specify the internal number you want to assign to the user extension during the user creation switching the Auto Generate off.
Modify a User
After the Users are created, you can view them in the list of users:

You can edit, modify or add information in a User account, just clicking on the three-dots menu and then on Edit:
Now you can modify the info related to the chosen User in the relative tabs:
Account
In Personal Info tab you can edit and modify the general information inserted (except for the Role and Username).
For User Role you can also change User Profile
In the Security Suite Section of Admin Role you can see:
the last password reset time and date (if there is any). This value is shown only if the Security Suite feature is enabled in the Admin Settings
In the Security Suite Section of User Role, you can:
check the last password reset time and date (if there is any). This value is shown only if the Security Suite feature is enabled in the Admin Settings
Disabled: switch on to disable the User Account (this action can be reverted, switching the toggle off)
Locked: if the user's account has been locked out after a number of failed login attempts, switch it off to unlock it.
In the Authentication section:
you can active directory SSO, to login with the Active Directory credentials
disable MFA for the User, when active
In the Change Avatar section, if you want to change the User Avatar click upload and select the image file (Only PNG and JPG formats - max 8MB)
Internal messenger
If the toggle button is switched on, when receiving a new Internal Message, the admin/user will be notified by a sound.
Client Logs Tab
From the Client Logs section of the single User, you can enable client-side logging for debug and issue troubleshooting:
Click on the toggle button to enable all Client scopes
Select the minimum logging level:
There are 4 levels available. Below, the basic information in this regard:
DEBUG_LEVEL | DEBUG | LOGS |
ERROR | The ERROR level designates error events that might still allow the application to continue running | error log |
WARNING | The WARNING level designates potentially harmful situations | error log, warn log |
INFO | The INFO level designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level. | error log, warn log, info log |
DEBUG | The DEBUG Level designates fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug an application. | error log, warn log, info log, debug log |
This feature allows the logs file output on the server (i.e. client/role-username folder), for the Agent/User logs have been enabled.
| Note |
|---|
This feature generates high data traffic. So, it’s recommended to disable it when not neeed. |
Delete Users
To delete a User, find it in the User list
click on 3 dots menu and then on Delete User:
| Info |
|---|
Note: the default Admin cannot be deleted! |
When you delete a staff member, the system will consider the action as SOFT DELETE and will transfer the user in the Deleted Members section, from which you can restore member or delete it permanently
API KEY
From the API Key Manager button (on the top-right of the header), you can Generate an API key:
Once an API Key has been generated, you can change or remove it. Clicking on the button, you can choose your action:
Remove: to remove the previous created API key
Copy: to copy the API key
Generate: when there isn’t an API key or the old API key is removed, it's possible to generate a new API key (the button "Generate" is visible only if there isn't a previous API key).
Change a User password
Administrators can change the User password: find the User from the Users list (you can use the search box on the top-right of the page to filter), click on 3 dots button and then Edit the User profile.
Now click on the Change Password icon (on the top-right of the header), insert the new password and save it:
According XCALLY Motion Security rules, if the Security Suite is enabled, it must contain least 8 characters and have at least 1 lowercase character, one uppercase character, one numeric character and one of the following special characters ~!@#$%^&-_=+[{]}.
In the same way the Administrator can also change his/her personal password, but in this case the old one must also be provided:
User Profiles
The User Profiles are designed to allow the Administrator to better and easily assign specific permissions to one or more users according to their usual scope of work and role in the organization.
The Administrator is responsible for:
creation of a User Profile
configuration of a User Profile
assignment of a User Profile to a user
The configuration process allows the Administrator to decide, for each Module included in the license, which sections and resources should be made available to the users belonging to a User Profile.
Since the permissions can be assigned at a very high level of detail, we recommend creating as many User Profiles as there are skills the user will need to have or activities he/she will have to perform within the organization.

Installing XCALLY Motion (from version 2.1.0 onwards)When XCALLY Motion is installed for the first time one default User Profile is provided: this profile must be customized according to the permissions you wish to grant to your User/Users (it doesn't allow any permission by default). When XCALLY Motion is installed as an update for any set of permissions applied to the existing Users, a new User Profile (named profile_<progressive number>) will be created and the corresponding Users will inherit it in the Account's Personal Info. In this case if more than one User share the same Permissions set, they will belong to the same User Profile. |
Create a User Profile
Go to Staff → User Profiles:
Now you are in the User Profiles List. Click on the Add button +:
| Info |
|---|
The Mask Sensitive Data feature is available from version 2.5.23. |
Insert:
new profile name
description
permission type (Read / Read and Edit / Read and Delete / Read, Edit and Delete)
| Info |
|---|
The Permission Type specified in this form is automatically inherited by every module, section and resource that will be enabled in the User Profile, unless manually overridden in the configuration panel of the specific section. |
Select Mask Sensitive Data if you want the Users belonging to this Profile not to see the personal data of the Contacts, such as the telephone number, the Name and the Email address. If you enable it, remember to specify the number of characters / digits to mask in the Settings - General (Security section):
Edit the User Profile
On the User Profiles List you find all the Profiles that have been created so far.
Click on
to open the Menu where you find the Edit command:
Here you can Edit User Profile, Clone a User Profile or Delete it
Click Edit User Profile in order to view / change the User Profile's Settings, Permissions and Downloads.

Settings
In this section you find General information about the Profile, inserted when it was created.
You can change them all, except the Name.
Permissions
Here you can find information on how to add or modify permissions to User Profiles.
By default, when a new User Profile is created all the Modules and Sections are disabled (grey icon):
The icon near the name of the Module can be:
Red for Unlicensed: the Module is not included in the license and no configuration is allowed.
Orange for Partial enabling: only some Module's sections are enabled or all of them are enabled, but not all their related resources are.
Green for Full enabling: all Module's sections and all their related resources are enabled.
If you want to fully enable a Module (eg. the complete Voice Module):
you can click on the switch
:
Confirm your action:
Now the Module icon turns green and the switch is on.
By doing this, all the Module's sections will be automatically enabled
(e.g. Voice Queues, Inbound Routes, Voicemails and so on)
and all their related resources will become available.
Then you can click on Manage icon:
Select section from dropdown menu:
Enable/Disable permissions of view, read, edit, delete
Once you switch the selector on, all the resources to which it refers are associated to the User Profile.
You can also automatically associate all the resources of a single section without enabling the entire Module by clicking on the switch inside the Module's configuration panel.
Manual association is disabled.
This action will associate all present and future resources of that section to the User Profile.
Switching it off will remove all the resources of that section and will prevent any future resource to be automatically associated to the User Profile. This implies that for each User Profile, only the resources created by one of its users will be automatically associated.
If instead you want to reduce the set of functions and the resources available, you have to switch the button off, clicking on the
manage icon and proceed manually to disable the resources you don't want to be associated to the User Profile anymore.
In fact if you want to give Users belonging to a User Profile access to any resource created by a User belonging to another User Profile, you must manually associate that specific resource.
Manual association is enabled.
In the configuration panel that will open you can define for each section:
Visibility
Hide or show the section in the User Desktop side menu, when the User is logged into his web GUI
 | show |
 | hide |
Permissions
You can override the permissions inherited by the User Profile, by changing it only for a specific section. If the icon is green, it means they are enabled.
 | read |
 | edit |
 | delete |
Example:
Among all the existing Voice Queues (left panel), only the "Sales" queue will be available to the user in read only mode:
| Info |
|---|
If you only set the Read permission to a Section, all its resources cannot be modified by the user, therefore:
|
Resources association
Note that it is not necessary to enable a section in order to associate one of its resources to a User Profile. Simply associating the resource will make it available in every context it may be used (read-only permission).
Example - Add an Agent to a Voice Queue
Any associated voice queue will be available for association even if the Voice Queue section is not enabled and therefore not visible in the sidebar menu.
Every List of items (e.g.: sounds, contexts, lists, actions, etc) that can be chosen and linked to a Resource (e.g: Accounts, Websites, Queues, etc), can be associated or not to the User Profile:
if so, the Users belonging to the Profile can freely use it and associate/disassociate it to the resources (in create or edit mode)
if not, the Users belonging to the Profile can only see it (only in edit mode, not in create) but not associate/disassociate it to the resource.
To make it simpler, let's take the example of a User, belonging to a Profile where there is an association with two voice queues (test1 and test2):
Let's see how will it be when the User create or edit an agent-queue association:
Example 1 (Create Mode):
In the example above, when the User creates an agent he can only choose to associate one or both of the voice queues assigned (test1, test2) to the Profile.
Example 2 (Edit Mode):
In the example above, the User Profile permissions allow the User to associate/disassociate to the Agent only the queues "test1" and "test2" (clicking on the single
or group
arrows). On the contrary, the queues "sales" and "Support", which have not been associated to the User Profile, can only be seen but not modified by the User.

will be like this:
-20230228-103152.jpg?version=1&modificationDate=1699882273955&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&width=544)
otherwise the Home will display the General Dashboard:
