Dialpad makes it easy for administrators to set up and manage their teams.
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 type means.
Company Administrator
As the first person to sign up for 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.
