The selected skill levels can now be used to determine which agent to route an interaction to. In a scenario where two agents, with otherwise identical characteristics, are available to handle an interaction at the same time, the agent with the highest level in a mandatory or unexpired skill will receive the interaction.

How do I allow a user to act as an agent to work with interactions?

To grant access to and allow a user to act as an agent, you need the Edit user feature permission. For information about feature permissions, see Configuring admin and supervisor feature permissions.

You can allow users such as supervisors, administrators, or wallboard users to act as agents and handle calls or other interactions. Agents have access and use enabled by default due to the nature of their work. You cannot revoke this access in VCC. 

To allow user to act as an agent, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to User Admin.
  2. Locate the non-agent user you want to allow or deny to act as an agent. 
    Insert excerpt
    _ExcerptUserAdminViewEditUserPermission
    _ExcerptUserAdminViewEditUserPermission
    nopaneltrue

    • If the non-agent user is not currently granted with agent access, Agent access granted appears. Click Yes to grant agent access.
    • If the non-agent user is already granted with agent access, Agent access granted does not appear.
  6. The field Allow to act as agent appears. Click Yes to allow the user to act as an agent.
  7. Click Save to save your settings.

When you have granted agent access and saved this setting—by clicking Create or Save—you cannot revoke access for the user. You can allow or deny to act as an agent for the user at any time. Granting agent access to the supervisor, wallboard, or admin users does not increase usage of contracted agents licenses.
