User Admin (Admins)
Bulk Editing Users
You can make several changes to one or more users in the account you are logging into in the User Admin section by adding them to the Bulk Actions box. To add them to the bulk action box:
- Click on the Plus sign next to their name.
- Once the plus sign is clicked, the user appears in the bulk actions box.
- License Status – The license determines what tasks the user can perform in Vonage Contact Center and ContactPad.
- Agent Settings – This includes items like username, phone numbers, and location
Routing Settings - Permission Settings – These define which groups, queues, and lines a supervisor or wallboard user can view or manage in the VCC Admin Portal.
Note: If the user is voice-function-enabled or has a supervisor or wallboard license, you will see a black plus icon within their contact box, click the icon to add the user to the bulk actions box. If the user is an admin user and is not voice-function-enabled, the icon is gray and inactive.
To expand the box for bulk actions, click the Arrow in the Bulk action box. With the bulk actions expanded, you can make changes to the users in each of the following sections:
