Prev Next

Objective

Restrict a user's access to call recordings to one or multiple sites by creating role assignments.

Applies To

  • Admin Console

  • Roles

  • Recordings

Procedure

Set up an assignment that gives the users access to the Recordings page in Admin Console.

Set up an assignment that restricts the user's access based on site scope/scopes (or Company if no site scope filtering is needed) to the call recordings data.

  1. Navigate to Roles & Permissions → Assignments page and create new assignment for the selected user with the out-of-the-box Storage Admin role and the desired site scope/scopes (or Company).

  2. If the user needs access to view call recordings, but not be able to delete them, a new role should be created. Navigate to Roles & Permissions → Roles page copy the Storage Admin role and deselect delete permissions ("Delete Objects" and "Bulk Delete"). Create a new user assignment with this copied role.

  3. If the user needs access to view call recordings, but not be able to download them, a new role should be created. Navigate to Roles & Permissions → Roles page copy the Storage Admin role and deselect "Bulk Downlaod". Create a new user assignment with this copied role.

An alternative to copying the out-of-the-box Storage Admin role is to create a new role altogether.

  1. Navigate to Roles & Permissions Roles and create a new role. Select Call recordings & Storage as application. Assign permissions as desired.

  2. Perform step 2 and/or 3 from above, and instead of Storage Admin role, use the newly created role name.
