User guide: admins

This guide can be used by admins to learn at a high-level how to manage your account. 

Your specific integration may be different from this guide. If you are training admins on how to use our software in your own workflow, then using this guide alongside your own materials and integration is recommended as best practice. 

As a first step, please review two other articles:

  1. The difference between admins and support agent roles in our software. 
  2. The user guide for agents.

This guide covers additional functionality of admin users.
