Users

To fully take advantage of UC-Line, you will be required to configure each employee as a User. Only the employees that you set up as a User will have login credentials to access the UC-Line Portal where they can view their own activity.

User Privileges

To take full advantage of the UC-Line Portal, add all relevant employees as Users. Customer Administrators have the access level necessary to add and edit users.

When you add your employees as Users, they will receive their own unique UC-Line Portal login details via the email address linked to their account. You can also grant a level of access that is appropriate to each employee’s role. The privileges applied to each User level are outlined below:

Please Note: If you want to record all calls you must ensure that all employees are set up as User and that they have a Device linked to their profile.

Customer Administrators

A Customer Administrator has full access to control all features on the account. These features will be outlined in detail through other permission levels.

Federation Administrator

A Federation is a set of accounts that are linked together, such as a franchise operation that has a number of customer-facing locations, that are all linked under an overall umbrella organization.

It may be advantageous to allow some Users access to see and make Customer Admin-level edits to all Federated UC-Line accounts. To do this, Federation Administration status can be assigned to key users.

A Federation Administrator will have access to view all accounts associated with their Federation Group and can manage these accounts. They will have the same permission level on all accounts that a Customer Administrator would have.

Regular User

A Regular User has access to view their own information such as their personal Call History, Voicemails, Contacts and Call Recordings. A Regular User can download (but not delete) their own Call Recordings. They cannot see any other details on the Portal and cannot make any changes.

Group Monitor

Group Monitors can be a team leader who needs to see information regarding other users in his or her team. A Group Monitor has the same access as a Regular User with the additional ability to view Call History and Call Recordings for the User Group to which they are assigned.

They will not have any other control over the account.
