This topic is part of the manual Manage your Contact Center in Agent Setup for version Current of Agent Setup.

Learn how to configure access groups for users in your contact center.

Access Groups are groups of users who need to have the same set of permissions for Configuration Database objects.

In many cases, users fall into a small number of categories with similar access needs. A team of agents all performing the same tasks often has identical access needs. Two or three people responsible for maintaining a specific site of the contact center may also have identical access needs. You can greatly simplify access control by adding individuals to Access Groups and then setting permissions for those groups.

Important
The default user account is not related to Access Groups and, therefore, does not appear as a member of any Access Group.

Display Options

The Access Groups list shows the Access Groups that are in your environment.

Important
Access Groups that are disabled will appear grayed out in the list.

To select or de-select multiple objects at once, click Select.

Click the name of an Access Group to view additional information about the object.
