Using Zoom Phone role management
Zoom’s web portal provides you with user management features that allow you to control who has access to the features and settings available. As an example, you can assign the role of call queue admin to each of the phone users A and B so that they are able to manage certain call queues and attend to their needs accordingly. If you want to assign a queue to user A for billing calls, and another to user B for sales calls, then this is what you should do.
Notes:
- You can assign users the Phone Management role using account-level role management in order to give them access to view and/or edit all Zoom Phone settings in the web portal. There is also an alternative option, which is to use the role of the Phone Super Admin described in this article.
- There are no mobility settings that can be modified at the account or group level in Zoom Phone roles. It is necessary to use account-level role management so as to grant access to these settings. More information about the privileges required can be found in the privileges listing.
