Quick answer-
Yes. Department membership is independent of licence tier. Both Pro and regular users can be added to any department, so they receive calls routed to that team.
When should I use this guide?
Use it when you need to add, move, or verify a user in a department and you’re unsure whether the licence type limits that action.
1. Pro vs regular users: feature snapshot
Item | Pro user | Regular user |
Answer inbound calls | ✅ | ✅ |
Belong to multiple departments | ✅ | ✅ |
Advanced analytics & reports | ✅ | ❌ |
CRM / help-desk integrations | ✅ | ❌ |
Can be set as Department Manager | ✅ | ✅ * |
*Admins can promote any user—licence tier does not block the role.
2. Rules for department assignment
- Licence type (Pro or regular) does not affect eligibility.
- A user may belong to multiple departments simultaneously.
- Only admins can add, move, or remove users from departments.
- Deleting a department moves all members to Unassigned.
3. Prerequisites
• Admin access to the MyOperator dashboard or mobile app.
• The target user already exists in the account.
4. Step-by-step: assign users on the web dashboard
- Log in to MyOperator → Manage → Departments.

Alt text: MyOperator → Manage → Departments
- Click Edit next to the desired department.

- Click Add Users under Users in the department.

- Click Save.
5. Step-by-step: assign users in the mobile app
- Open the MyOperator app → Manage → Departments.
- Tap the department name.
- Tap Assign Users → select user(s) → Save.
Expected outcome: The department member list refreshes with the new user(s).
6. When an assignment will NOT work
Symptom | Cause | Fix |
User missing from the list | User not yet created | Add user first under Team → Users |
“Only admins can edit” message | You lack admin rights | Ask an admin to grant permissions |
User appears twice | Duplicate browser save | Refresh page; duplicates auto-merge |
7. Troubleshooting & escalation
• If a newly assigned user is not receiving department calls, confirm that their call-forwarding numbers are verified and active.
• Still stuck? Contact MyOperator Support with the department name and the affected user(s).
