How do I add a new user (Agent, Manager, Admin) or change the default permissions for a user role in MyOperator?
Quick answer
Web Panel → Manage → Users → Add New → fill name, email, mobile, extension, work schedule, role, and (optionally) toggle Pro-License and set their Role in Advanced Settings for dashboard access. Set optional call-receiving hours.
Click Save; an invite email is sent, and the user is live immediately.
When should I use this guide?
Use it whenever you hire a new teammate, need to grant dashboard access, or want calls routed to a new extension.
1. Difference between user and Pro-License
To receive incoming and make outgoing calls, add the person as a user in your MyOperator account. After adding their number as a user, they can receive and make calls. To log in to the Admin panel to view logs and reports and do other admin activities, the user should have Pro-License access.
There are three roles of a Pro-License:
- Administrator
- Manager
- Call agent
- Administrator: They have full access to the Admin app. They can add a user and perform all activities in the account. They have full access to logs.
- Manager: They have their department's log access. A user with a Pro-License can be assigned as manager of any department. They cannot change settings or add new functionality to the account, but they can perform call- and log-related actions. Example: Do incoming call, Add contact, Follow-up.
- Call agent: The Call agent has their own call view access. They can only view and track their logs and can perform all call- and log-related actions on these logs.
User vs Pro User
Setting | What it means | Access |
|---|---|---|
Panel Access: ON | User is a Pro User | Can sign in to the MyOperator panel and (if assigned) receive calls |
Panel Access: OFF | Call-only user | Cannot sign in; can still receive calls if added to a department/queue |
2. Prerequisites
Requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|
Admin role with User Management → Add/Edit | Permission to create users |
Free Pro-License seat | Needed for dashboard/report access |
Unique email & extension | Cannot exist in another workspace |

3. Role & licence matrix
Roles control who can access which features in your MyOperator account. Using the right role keeps data secure, speeds onboarding, and prevents accidental changes.
Role | Receives calls | Dashboard access | Needs Pro-License? |
|---|---|---|---|
Agent | Yes | No | Optional |
Manager | Yes | Limited (Reports) | Yes |
Admin | Yes | Full | Yes |
4. Step-by-step: add a single user
- Log in with Admin credentials.
Alt text: MyOperator panel
- Sidebar → Manage → Users → Add New (top-right).
Alt text: Choose Manage, then click Users
- Update/edit the user's information:
- Name, Business email (unique)
- Mobile & Alternate mobile (optional)
- Extension (unique)
- Time schedule to receive calls (default 24 h)
- Under Advanced settings, toggle ON Pro-License if dashboard access is needed
- Select Role (Agent / Manager / Admin)
Alt text: Fill the form
- Click Save.
5. How can I search if a number/user is already added?
To check if a user or number is already added to your MyOperator panel:
- Use the Search bar at the top right to enter the user's name or phone number.
- Press Enter or click the Search icon.
- If the user exists, their details will appear in the results.
Caption: Access the users by going to Manage → Users, then type in the Search Bar to find the number.
6. Success checklist
- ✓ New user appears in Manage → Users with correct role/licence with Status = Active.
- ✓ The new Pro user receives an SMS (and an email, if an address is on file) with a default password; if not received, they can visit app.myoperator.com and use Forgot Password to create one.
- ✓ Invite email received (check Spam).
- ✓ Test call to extension rings within the defined schedule.
Success criteria: The user shows as Active in Users, can access the panel (if Pro User), and receives calls according to routing and schedule.
7. Edge cases & limits
- Email exists error — address is already in another workspace; use an alias or contact Support to release.
- Extension conflict — choose an unused number.
- Licence limit reached — disable Pro on an inactive user or buy more seats.
8. When the user can’t sign in or receive calls
- Pro-License off → dashboard access denied (Agent only).
- Schedule outside working hours → calls don’t ring.
- Call Flow excludes the new user → add them to the queue/department.
9. How many Users can I add to one account?
Short answer: It depends on your subscription plan. Here are the typical limits:
- Nano: up to 3 users
- Swift: up to 10 users
- Creta: up to 10 users
- Enterprise: Unlimited users
10. Add more users (two paths)
Path A — Upgrade your plan
- Go to Billing → Current Plan.
- Select View Plans/Change Plan and choose a plan with a higher user allowance.
- Confirm the change.
- Return to Manage → Users and add your new users.
Path B — Free up a slot without upgrading
- Open Manage → Users.
- Identify users who no longer need access.
- Click Edit → Deactivate or Remove the user.
- Add the new user once the slot is available.
11. Can I create a role according to my choice?
Not right now. MyOperator supports three predefined user roles—Administrator, Manager, and Call Agent. You cannot create new custom roles or edit role permissions.
12. Troubleshooting & escalation
Issue | Quick fix |
|---|---|
Invite email missing / Status of user = Pending | Check Spam / Resend invite from Manage → Users → ⋮ |
Seat limit reached | Remove Pro from the unused user or purchase more seats |
User not receiving calls | Ensure they’re added to the correct department/queue and their call‑receiving time includes the current time |
Extension conflict | Choose an unused extension within your plan’s range |
