To access the Users tab options:

  1. In your browser, log in to TextPeak with manager access privileges.
  2. In the main TextPeak menu, select the Inbox tab.
  3. Click Settings at the bottom of the Inbox sidebar.
  4. In the Workspace group, click Users.

Here, you can view a table with all the users assigned to your account.

❗️

IMPORTANT

  • Only Inbox admins can change the roles.
  • Inbox managers can view only the users that assigned to their teams.
  • Inbox agents have no access to the Settings > Users page and can manage conversations only.

The table organizes all information about users in the following columns: Name, Email, Inbox Permissions, Teams, Status, and Actions.

Note

To manage inbox agents within your teams (assign to your teams or unassign from them), proceed as described in Assigning Agents.

Changing an agent's status

If agent presence is turned on for your space, the Status column shows whether each agent is Online, Away, or Offline. You can change it yourself - useful when an agent forgets to go offline at the end of a shift.

  1. Find the agent in the table.

  2. Click their status and select Online or Offline.

    Changing agent's status

Changing another agent's status does not ask you for a reason. TextPeak asks for a reason only when an agent sets their own status to Offline.

📘

NOTE

You can set an agent to Online or Offline from this page, but not to Away. Only automatic away mode sets that status.

TextPeak does not assign new conversations to an agent who is Offline.

For more details and on what else changes, see the Agent Presence page.

Managing Inbox User Roles and Permissions

  1. To change the role for the specific user, click the three dots and select Change role.
  2. Select a new role from the drop-down list in the pop-up window.
