Teams

Here you can create new teams and edit existing.

    You can create a team from this menu with the steps bellow or via the main interface using this guide

    • See lists of public and private channels

  • A disabled team will no longer be visible for users. It can be enabled again. To disable:

    1. Expand the team you want to disable
    2. At the bottom, mark disabled
    3. Click save

Roles & permissions

  • A role is a set of permissions you can add to users in order to do things a bit easier, for example, you can create a role named administrator for telephony, and everyone with that role can administrate the telephony part in the app.

    To create a new role: 

    1. Click ADD_SQUARE.svg
    2. Give it a name, e.g. administrator for telephony
    3. Give the role the permission(s) you want
    4. Choose to automatically give users with this role access to a team and its' channels
    5. Choose team permissions if you assign a team to a role
    6. Assign the role to users
    7. Click create
  • You can edit existing roles if needed. Just follow these steps:

    1. Expand EXPAND_RIGHT_GRADIENT.svgthe role you want to edit
    2. Edit as needed
    3. Click save
    To delete a role:
    1. Expand EXPAND_RIGHT_GRADIENT.svgthe role you want to delete
    2. At the bottom, click delete
    3. Click yes

    Deleting the role will affect all role members. Connected team memberships, etc, will be revoked.

  • We highly recommend you to be working with roles, with that said, there is another way to give users permissions to view & edit things in the app (If you are not using roles)

    To give all users default permissions:
    1. Expand the list permissions EXPAND_RIGHT_GRADIENT.svg
    2. Choose the permissions
    3. Click save

    Instead of this, we recommend you to work with roles. When working with roles it is easier to bulk edit and give multiple users the same permissions.
