    Article summary

    In today's dynamic workplace landscape, admins are seeking enhanced control over their office, contact center, and user settings.

    With Access Control, accessed through the Enterprise Support (ES) Platform, companies can tailor permissions and manage user policies (roles) to suit their specific needs, increasing efficiency and security. 

    Let’s dive into the details. 


    Who can use this feature

    Access Control is currently in an Early Adopter Program.

    Once released, this feature will be available to Dialpad Support users on an Advanced or Premium plan, as well as our legacy Enterprise offering.

    Permission sets

    Dialpad offers 18 unique permission sets, giving users access to specific settings or features within the company, office, or Contact Center that might not be available within the traditional scope of their Dialpad user role.

    Using Access Control for Contact Center Settings, company admins can:

    • Create, edit, and delete policies (roles) within their organization.

    • Grant or revoke Contact Center setting permissions.

    • Assign and unassign policies to specific users in selected Contact Centers.

    • Allocate different policies to users on different Contact Centers.

    Let’s look at what each permission set does.
