Article summary

Dialpad lets you manage active users and reserved numbers within a single menu. You can see names, email addresses, numbers, license types, and other account details.

Let's take a look at managing users in Dialpad.

Who can use this

Company and Office Admins can manage users.

If you're a Company Admin on an Advanced or Premium plan (as well as our legacy Pro or Enterprise plans), you’ll have proxy access to remotely access users' accounts and ccn even transfer licenses and users between offices.

View active users 

To view your active users, go to your Dialpad Admin Settings.

  1. Navigate to Office

  2. Select Users

By default, you’ll land on the Active or Pending Users tab.

Tip

Use the search bar to find specific users, or users with specific permissions or licenses.

View reserved numbers

When an admin deletes a user or removes a previously assigned number in Dialpad, the number goes into your Reserved Pool. 

To view your Reserved Pool, head to your Dialpad Admin Settings.

  1. Navigate to Office

  2. Select Users

  3. Select Reserved Numbers

This tab displays all your unassigned numbers and shows you who the number was last for, in what office, and the date it was unassigned.

Easily reassign or delete reserved numbers from this tab. 

Note

Looking to move an existing user to a different license type? Please reach out to a member of Dialpad’s Customer Care Team for assistance!

View deleted users 

Need to see a list of your recently deleted users? Deleted users can be restored for up to 72 hours after the initial deletion. 

To view your deleted users, head to your Dialpad Admin Settings.

  1. Navigate to Office

  2. Select Users

  3. Select Deleted Users

Here, you’ll see any users that have been deleted within the last 72 hours.

After 72 hours, users are permanently deleted, and all records associated with those users will be anonymized.

Note

Once a user has been anonymized, Dialpad cannot access, export, or restore its associated data or records.

Bulk user management 

Easily update multiple users at the same time using our simple checkbox selector. The following actions can be applied in bulk: 

  • Delete user

  • Add or remove admin access

  • Add or remove analytics permissions

To bulk update users:

  1. Select the checkbox to the left of their names

  2. Choose which action you'd like to apply 


Keep in mind if you grant analytics access, it will only apply to Charting Data and not Call History; you must be a Company Admin in order to do this.

Proxy access into the user account

Need to take a closer look at a user account or help troubleshoot an issue they're experiencing? In those cases, proxying into an account may be what you're looking for.

Proxying only allows access to accounts and web settings, not the Dialpad app itself.

From your Dialpad Admin Settings:

  1. Select Users 

  2. Select Options

  3. Select Admin 

  4. Select Proxy Login

When proxying, you’ll see a red banner informing you that any changes you make will be applied immediately.

Select the back button to exit the proxy login.


Note

Users, even Office Admins, must be granted proxy access before they are able to proxy into someone’s account.

Proxying is also available through the Enterprise Support Portal.

Transfer licenses

Company Admins on an Advanced or Premium plan can transfer licenses across all of their offices.

Licenses can only be transferred between Offices at the same price level.

To transfer licenses, head to your Company Settings.

  1. Select Licenses

  2. Choose the type of license you'd like to transfer

    1. Dialpad

    2. Ai Meetings

    3. Add-on 

  3. Select Transfer Licenses 

  4. Select the Office you need to transfer licenses to, then select Next

  5. Select the quantity and type of licenses to be transferred, then select Next 

  6. Review the transfer and select Confirm transfer

Note

Only unassigned licenses can be transferred, however, users can be transferred to different Offices on the same pricing plan, as noted below.


Transfer users to a different Office

Did a team member move to a new Office? No problem! If you're on a Premium or Advanced plan (as well as our legacy Pro or Enterprise plans), Company Admins can transfer users from one office to another.

When a user is transferred to a new office, they keep the license, phone number, and settings they had previously. There is no other change to the user's account besides the office they are associated with.

To transfer a user to a different office, head to your Dialpad Admin Settings.

  1. Navigate to Office

  2. Select Users

  3. Select Options beside the user you'd like to transfer

  4. Select Admin

  5. Select Transfer user 

  6. Choose the office you would like to transfer the user to

  7. Select Next 

  8. Review the transfer summary, then select Confirm transfer 

If you transfer a user to an office located in a different country than the user’s current office, any local numbers and fax numbers currently assigned to this user will be removed, and a new number will be assigned to the user (in the country of their new office) but their license will remain the same.
Transferring users internationally is only possible if the two offices are on the same price level.
