Nextiva Contact Center: Authorities

Article 000003479 · Updated Jun 10, 2024 · 1,410 views

Authorities are used to configure user permissions and can be found in the Options Menu by searching for Authorities.

  • Groups of authorities are held in an Authority Set.
  • The permissions set in the authorities are associated with groups of users via User Profiles.
  • The User Profiles are assigned the authorities through the Authority Set Identifier. 

NOTE: Only advanced users should modify authorities, as incorrect settings can cause unintended behavior in the system, including users not being able to log in.
