User permissions
User permissions let you control how people access the components of BMC Virtual Chat, such as Support Agent Console, Monitoring Console, and Administration Console.
You have to categorize application users by roles and assign them to predefined active groups in BMC Virtual Chat. You can assign application users to one of the active groups, depending on their role and the permissions required. Each of these groups has certain form permissions associated with them. Each permission group can access only certain areas of the application. A user can belong to multiple permission groups.
The following sections give information about permission groups that are deprecated (inactive) and currently in use (active):
