How Roles Work
Roles in AiChat are designed to be flexible and mutually exclusive where available:- Mix and Match Roles: You can assign multiple roles to a single user.
- Permissions Stack: When a user has multiple roles, their permissions are combined. For example, someone with both Support Agent and Campaign Manager roles can reply to customers and manage marketing .
- See vs. Do: Most areas in AiChat are viewable by everyone. However, taking action (like replying or editing) requires a specific role. Without the right role, a “restricted access” message will appear.
- Privacy First: Modules with customer data (like Conversations and Tickets) are hidden by default . To see them, a user must be assigned a Support or Customer Data role .
- Project Access: Users must be assigned to a specific project before they can access any features within it.
