Privileges

Registered users of your Bright Pattern Contact Center solution are assigned privileges that can be used to control access to various contact center functions. Privileges are arranged in the same way as they appear on the Roles page of the Contact Center Administrator application. For general information about privileges and roles, see section Roles.

Privileges are organized into six categories (i.e., groups):

  • Interaction Handling
  • Security and Administration
  • Service and Campaign Administration
  • Supervision
  • System Administration
  • BPO Client

The privileges specified for each group are described as follows.


Interaction Handling group

Access full-screen Agent Desktop

The Access full-screen Agent Desktop privilege allows the user to enable full-screen Agent Desktop view within CRM applications.

Because CRM systems typically have their own email and case management capabilities, the full-screen mode normally would be used by supervisors only.


Force pop-out phone window

The Force pop-out phone window privilege allows the user to open Agent Desktop in a pop-out window. For more information, see section Changing Your Agent Desktop Appearance of the Agent Guide.

Enabling this privilege is generally not recommended if you plan to deliver activity forms and/or other web content to agents via screen pop.

Note that if the user has any privileges in the Supervision group (see below), the user will not be able to open Agent Desktop in a pop-out window even if the user has this privilege.


Handle leads

This privilege is reserved for future use.


Handle automatically distributed interactions

The Handle automatically distributed interactions allows the user to receive calls from a service queue and preview records. This is the basic privilege that allows the user to perform typical call center agent work (i.e., provide services over the phone and participate in outbound campaigns).

The ability to handle customer chat or email interactions is controlled via separate privileges (see Handle email and Handle service chat).


Handle email

The Handle email privilege allows the user to handle email interactions with customers.


Handle service chats

With the Handle service chats privilege, the user may handle chat interactions with customers. This includes chat interactions started by customers via SMS.

Note that the ability to initiate a chat with a customer via SMS is controlled by a separate privilege (see Initiate SMS conversation). Likewise, the ability to use internal chat is controlled by a separate privilege (see Send internal chats).


Initiate SMS conversation

The Initiate SMS conversation privilege allows the user to initiate chats with customers via SMS.


Login to Agent Desktop

Login to Agent Desktop allows the user to log in to Agent Desktop application and perform basic back-office telephony functions. Any user who needs access to Agent Desktop must have this privilege. Note that this privilege alone is not sufficient for performing typical contact center agent work.

Note that any user who logs into Agent Desktop will be counted as a concurrent user for the duration of the login session. Your service provider may impose a limit on how many of your users may be logged on concurrently.


Make external calls

A user with the Make external calls privilege may make external calls and blind transfers to external destinations from the Agent Desktop application. If the user does not have this privilege, an attempt to make an external call or blind transfer will result in a text error message displayed on Agent Desktop.

Note that the absence of this privilege does not prevent users from making external calls using the dial pad of their hardphones.

The Mask original email content privilege allows the user to mask fragments of original customer email text. For more information, see section How to Mask Sensitive Data of the Agent Guide.

Absence of this privilege does not affect user’s ability to

  • make blind transfers of customer interactions
  • transfer or conference internal calls

Use Favorites tab is an agent-level privilege that controls whether the user can see and set favorites from the Agent Desktop application. This privilege is an agent behavior control to prevent users from dialing destinations that they should not based on FCC/TCPA and organizational rules.


Use Recent Calls tab

The Use Recent Calls tab privilege lets the user restrict access to recent calls. This privilege uses TCPA manual dialing to limit which agents can access recent calls.


Use RightNow

For more information, see the RightNow Integration Guide.


Use Zendesk

With the Use Zendesk privilege, the user may use Agent Desktop embedded into the Zendesk application. This privilege enables access to the Agent Desktop widget within Zendesk. To enable full-screen Agent Desktop view within Zendesk application, the user must also have the Access full Agent Desktop privilege.
