Admin Permissions in Dialpad

  • Updated

Dialpad makes it easy for administrators to set up and manage their team. 

Share responsibility and configure your team the way you need — Dialpad provides 6 different types of Admin permissions.

  • Company Admin
  • Office Admin
  • Department Admin
  • Contact Center Admin
  • Contact Center Supervisor
  • Coaching Team Coach 

Let's take a closer look at what each permission types means. 

Company Administrator

As the person to sign up your Company, you're automatically made the Company Admin. Keep in mind that a Google Apps Admin or a Microsoft Admin also has the same level of access as a Company Admin in Dialpad.

If your plan allows it, you can contact our Sales Team to add additional Offices. Afterward, you can add Office Admin privileges to your team members.

FAQs

Can a Dialpad account have more than one administrator?

Yes! The original account admin can also assign admin status to anyone else in the organization.

Do admins have access to individual user settings?

Nope. Admins can do things like assign phone numbers to people and enable integrations, but they can't change your personal profile information or voicemail settings.
