Invite your team and choose what they see

Never share your own password. Give every person their own login instead: a role, the servers they can reach, and what they can do there. If you run servers for your own clients, this is also how you give each client only their servers.

What you need

  • You are the account owner, or an Admin who was given Manage members. Admins can invite and manage people below Admin.

Step 1: Open Members

  1. In the left sidebar, under Settings, click Members.
  2. People and invites lists everyone with access to your account: their Role, the Servers they reach and their Permissions. Pending invites are listed too.
Members: everyone with access, and pending invites
Members: everyone with access, and pending invites

Step 2: Invite someone

  1. Click Invite member. The Invite a member window opens.
  2. Type their Email. The invite only works for that address.
  3. Pick a Role (see the list below).
  4. Under Which servers, choose All servers (every server, now and later), Chosen projects (every server in those projects, now and later) or Chosen servers (just the ones you tick).
  5. Optional: open Permissions to fine-tune. The role fills in the boxes under What they can do and Server tabs they can open; tick or untick any of them.
  6. Click Send invite. They get an email with a link that works for 7 days.
Invite a member: email, role, which servers and permissions

The five roles

  • Admin: runs the servers. SSH, firewall, settings, reboots, reports, and inviting members below Admin. No billing, plan changes, cancelling or deleting.
  • Operator: day-to-day dialer work in every tab, plus reboots. No SSH, firewall or settings.
  • Viewer: looks, does not change. The floor and reports.
  • Billing: invoices, payments and the wallet. No server access.
  • QA reviewer: call reviews and recordings in the QA module, which comes with Managed Floor Enterprise.

Some things always stay with you, the owner: changing a plan or add-ons, cancelling or deleting a server, hard reset and factory reset. Only you can make someone an Admin.

Inviting the same kind of person often? On the Members page, Permission presets lets you save a role with its permissions under a name, such as “Campaign manager”. Click Create preset. Your presets then appear as one-click buttons next to Role when you invite someone.

Step 3: What your member does

  1. They open the email and click the link.
  2. New to VICIfast? They create an account with the invited email. Already have one? They sign in and keep it.
  3. They click Accept invitation and land on your servers, with the access you chose.

Someone who also has their own VICIfast account switches between the two from the account button in the top bar (Switch account).

Their own VICIdial login

Members who work in VICIdial get their own VICIdial login, at a level that matches their role and tabs. They find it on the server page behind Access VICIdial Server, in the VICIdial admin card; it is created the first time they reveal it. The shared admin login (6666) is shown only to you and your Admins.

Step 4: Change access or remove someone

  1. To change a role, servers or permissions, click Edit on their row. The Edit access window opens; make your changes and click Save. If you take servers away, what they added there comes back to you.
  2. To remove someone, click the bin icon on their row. The window lists exactly what will be taken back: their sessions, the SSH keys and firewall entries they added, and their VICIdial logins. Click Remove member to confirm.
  3. For a pending invite, click Resend to send the link again, or the cross to withdraw it. An expired invite reads Invite expired.

Removing someone takes effect at once and can't be undone. They are signed out everywhere. If they had seen the 6666 password, it is changed on those servers and the new one is on each server page.

See who signed in

At the bottom of the Members page, Sign-in activity shows recent sign-ins for you and your members, with location, IP and device. Click Force logout to end a session straight away.

Give each client only their own servers

Put each client's servers in a project, then invite that client with Chosen projects. They see only that project's servers, and never your other clients, your billing or the rest of your account. See Group servers into projects.
