Updating and Editing Users As an Admin
Users Are Unique and Highly Customizable
Each member of your staff or each station in your office has a user set up specifically for them. Users accounts allow access to the RingByName web and mobile applications. There are two types of users, Admin and Regular, each with different permissions and access. While both user types will give you access to the RingByName applications, only the Admin will allow you to make changes to settings in the RingByName System Administration Portal. Admins can customize and edit settings for individual users or for groups of user at once, such as editing Outbound Caller IDs and Passwords for multiple users at once.
User Settings
To access the User Settings, go to System Admin and click on the top link for RingByName Setup. Users will be the first thing displayed on the screen. Click on an individual User Name to access the User Details screen. The following settings can be changed by the administrator for each user: Continue reading below for each setting that appears on the far right of any user you select.
