With User Roles, the Administrator can assign the predefined Phone System Administrator role to all IT Staff then assign the Standard (International) or Standard roles to the rest of the employees.
- Log in to the BT Cloud Work Portal.
- On the Admin Portal, go to User > Roles to assign roles and allow permissions.
There are 7 Predefined Roles that are built-in roles with a set of permissions. These roles are available to all BT Cloud Phone customers. Permissions granted to Predefined roles cannot be modified.
