Users and roles

Tenant administrators manage users in Settings > Users. Users determine who can sign in, what they can access, and whether they can receive routed work.

Prerequisites

You need an administrator or owner role that allows user management.

User directory

The user directory lists tenant users and their access state. From this area, administrators can:
  • Invite new users.
  • Edit user details.
  • Assign one or more roles.
  • Activate or disable users.
  • Review pending invitations.
  • Manage routing-related user properties such as language capabilities.
Each CXP user is linked to a contact record. That contact stores profile details such as name, email, phone, tags, notes, and other contact-backed fields. CXP Settings Users page showing seeded tenant users, active state, and roles

Common roles

Roles determine what a user can see and do.
RoleTypical use
OwnerFull tenant control, including users, channels, routing, and AI configuration.
AdminOperational administration, user management, routing configuration, and AI Assistant management.
Team leadTeam operations, queue supervision, assignment, and team-level management.
AgentHandles routed conversations and assigned customer work.
UserWorks with supporting workflows but does not necessarily process routed conversations.
ViewerRead-only access for oversight and reporting.
A person can hold multiple roles when needed.

Invite a user

To invite a user:
  1. Open Settings > Users.
  2. Select the invite action.
  3. Enter the user’s email and profile details.
  4. Choose the roles the user should have.
  5. Send the invitation.
Pending invitations appear in the user settings area. Remove stale invitations when they should no longer grant access.

Activate or disable access

Use active and disabled states to control whether a user can participate in the tenant. Disabling a user should prevent normal tenant access and routing participation. It does not delete historical audit or conversation records.

Configure routing readiness

Agent routing has two layers:
  • Tenant user access controls whether the person can use CXP.
  • Agent state controls whether an agent can receive routed work now.
Agents can be Ready, Not ready, or Off duty. Administrators should use user roles and active state for access control, not as a substitute for day-to-day readiness.

Configure language capabilities

Users can have language capabilities for routing. If language-aware routing is enabled, CXP can prefer agents who support the analyzed customer language. A user with no language restriction is treated as unrestricted.

Configure notification preferences

User settings can include internal notification preferences for conversation activity such as public messages, status changes, and internal notes.
