What are the 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:

Insert the new profile name, description and choose the permission type and the type of data visibility you want to guarantee to users who are members of this Profile:

The Permission Type can be:

Read
Read and Edit
Read and Delete
Read, Edit and Delete

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:

Remember to specify the number of characters / digits to mask in the Settings - General (Security section):

If you choose to apply the data mask, all the views linked to the contacts will be masked to the Users who are part of the Profile in question (contacts, bull, interactions, voice recordings, etc.). For the Contacts section, the data is masked only if the User Profile does not allow the edit permission.

The Mask Sensitive Data feature is available from version 2.5.23

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.

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:

Click Edit User Profile in order to view / change the User Profile's Settings and Permissions.

Here you can also Clone a User Profile or Delete it.

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.

toggle to select all resources

If you want to fully enable a Module (eg. the complete Voice Module) you can click on the switch:

and 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.

All the sections will inherit the Permission Type assigned to the User Profile (in the example below the "Read" permission):

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.

This action will associate all present and future resources of that section to the User Profile.

Manual association is disabled.

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 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.

Once you switch the selector on , all the resources to which it refers are associated to the User Profile: if you want to come back and reduce the set of functions and the resources available, switch it off, click on and proceed manually to disable the resources you don't want to be associated to the User Profile anymore.

You can also manually configure one module's sections and their related resources by clicking on the icon.

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 ()

like in the following example, where among all existing Voice Queues (on the left side), only the "Sales" one will be visible to the User, both as a menu item and as its contents (in the example, it will be available for the User in read mode only ):

If you only set the Read permission to a Section, all its resources cannot be modified by the user, therefore:

any action inside the three dot menu that requires the Edit or Delete permissions will not be displayed
the user can view the resource detail where present (all fields are disabled)
fast edit is disabled where present

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.

About the Lists of Items associated to a Resource:

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.
