Agent

A user who places or receives calls in VICIdial. Distinct from "user" (admin/manager).

In VICIdial, an agent is a user with user_level=1 who logs in to the agent screen (/agc/vicidial.php) to handle calls. Agents are the people on the dialer; users with higher user_level are managers, supervisors, admins.

Agents:

  • Belong to one or more user groups (controls what campaigns they can join)
  • Have a session_id while logged in (tracked in vicidial_live_agents)
  • Receive auto-dialed calls if their campaign uses RATIO dial method
  • Can manually dial if the campaign is set to MANUAL

VICIdial does not license per agent — pricing on VICIfast is per-server, agent count is a sizing suggestion.
