User Management
This section provides an overview of User Management (Roles and Permissions). These roles dictate if an ASAPP user can authenticate to Agent Desk, Admin Dashboard, or both. In addition, roles determine what view and data users see in the Admin Dashboard. You can pass User Data to ASAPP via SSO, AD/LDAP, or other approved integration.
This section describes the following:
Process Overview
This is a high-level overview of the User Management setup process.
- ASAPP demos the Desk/Admin Interface.
- Call with ASAPP to confirm the access and permission requirements. ASAPP and you complete a Configuration spreadsheet defining all the Roles & Permissions.
- ASAPP sends you a copy of the Configuration spreadsheet for review and approval. ASAPP will make additional changes if needed and send to you for approval.
- ASAPP implements and tests the configuration.
- ASAPP trains you to set up and modify User Management.
- ASAPP goes live with your new Customer Interaction system.
Resource Overview
The following table lists and defines all resources:

Go to Desk | Allows you to click Go to Desk from the Nav to open Agent Desk in a new tab. Requires Agent Desk access. | ||
Default Concurrency | The default value for the maximum number of chats a newly added agent can handle at the same time. | Default Concurrency | Sets the default concurrency of all new users with access to Agent Desk if no concurrency was set via the ingest method. |

If a client has data security enabled for Historical Reporting, policies need to be written to add users to the following 3 groups:
If you have any Creator users, you may want custom groups created. This can be achieved by writing a policy to create reporting groups based on a specific user attribute (i.e. I need reporting groups per queue, where queue is the attribute). | ||
Data Security | Limits the agent-level data that certain users can see in Historical Reporting. If anyone has these policies, then the Core, Contact Center, and All Reports groups should be enabled. | ||
