How do I add a new user (Agent, Manager, Admin) or change the default permissions for a user role in MyOperator?

How do I add a new user (Agent, Manager, Admin) or change the default permissions for a user role in MyOperator?

⚡Quick answer -

Web Panel → Manage → Users → Add New → fill name, email, mobile, extension, work schedule, role, and (optionally) toggle Pro-License and set their Role in Advance Settings for dashboard access. Set optional call‑receiving hours.

Click Save; an invite email is sent, and the user is live immediately.

When should I use this guide?

Use it whenever you hire a new teammate, need to grant dashboard access, or want calls routed to a new extension.


1. Difference between user and pro license

To receive incoming and make outgoing calls, a person should be added as a user in the MyOperator account. After adding a person's number as a user in MyOperator, they can receive and make calls. To log in Admin panel to view logs and reports and do other admin activities, the user should have Pro license access.

There are three roles of a pro license.
1. Administrator
2. Manager
3. Call agent

  • Administrator: They have full access to the Admin app. They can add a user and all activities in the account. They have full access to logs
  • Manager: They have their department's log access. The user who has a pro license can be assigned as manager of any department. They can not change any settings or can not add new functionality to the account, but they can perform call and log-related actions. Example: Do incoming call, Add contact, Follow-up
  • Call agent: The Call agent can have their own call view access. They can only view and track their logs and can perform all call and log-related actions on these logs.

  1. Click Save.

5. Success checklist

✓ New user appears in Manage → Users with correct role/licence with Status = Active.

✓ Invite email received (check Spam).

✓ Test call to extension rings within the defined schedule.

Success criteria: The user shows as Active in Users, can access the panel (if Pro User), and receives calls according to routing and schedule.


6. Edge cases & limits

• Email exists error – address is already in another workspace; use alias or contact Support to release.

• Extension conflict – choose an unused number.

• Licence limit reached – disable Pro on an inactive user or buy more seats.


7. When the user can’t sign in or receive calls

  1. Pro-License off → dashboard access denied (Agent only).
  2. Schedule outside working hours → calls don’t ring.
  3. Call Flow excludes the new user → add them to the queue/department.

8. How many Users can I add to one account?

Short answer: It depends on your subscription plan. Here are the typical limits:

  • Nano: up to 3 users
  • Swift: up to 10 users
  • Creta: up to 10 users
  • Enterprise: Unlimited users

9. Add more users (two paths)

Path A — Upgrade your plan

  1. Go to Billing → Current Plan.
  2. Select View Plans/Change Plan and choose a plan with a higher user allowance.
  3. Confirm the change.
  4. Return to Manage → Users and add your new users.

Path B — Free up a slot without upgrading

  1. Open Manage → Users.
  2. Identify users who no longer need access.
  3. Click Edit → Deactivate or Remove the user.
  4. Add the new user once the slot is available.

10. Can I create a role according to my choice?

Not right now. MyOperator supports three predefined user roles—Administrator, Manager, and Call Agent. You cannot create new custom roles or edit role permissions.


11. Troubleshooting & escalation

Issue

Quick fix

Invite email missing / Status of user = Pending

Check Spam / Resend invite from Manage → Users → ⋮

Seat limit reached

Remove Pro from the unused user or purchase

User not receiving calls

Ensure they’re added to the correct department/queue and their call‑receiving time includes the current time.

Extension conflict

Choose an unused extension within your plan’s range.
