What roles have access to WhatsApp functionalities?
Quick answer
Access to WhatsApp features in MyOperator depends on the user role with a Pro license. Each role comes with default permissions, which the Owner can adjust under Permission Settings (left navigation bar).
Role-Based Access Matrix
Role | WhatsApp Account | Templates | Campaigns | Chat Access |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Owner | ✅ Full view & manage | ✅ Create / Edit / Delete | ✅ Create / Run / View / Delete | ✅ Full access (view + transfer + reply to customers) |
Admin | ✅ Manage (cannot delete account) | ✅ Create / Edit / Delete | ✅ Create / Run / View / Delete | ✅ Full access (view + reply + transfer) |
Manager | ✅ View only | ✅ Create / Edit / Delete | ✅ Create / Run / View | ✅ Full access (view + transfer + reply) |
Call Agent | ✅ View only | ✅ Create / Edit / Delete | ✅ Create / Run / View | ✅ Limited (view assigned chats + reply) |
All access is subject to permissions that can be changed by the Owner.
Customising Access
- The Owner can grant or revoke specific permissions for any role.
- Changes take effect immediately in User Management.
- For example, you can allow a Manager to view campaigns but block template creation, or grant a Call Agent temporary campaign access.
Examples
- A Manager can build new templates and launch campaigns but cannot delete templates or remove accounts.
- An Admin can delete templates and fully manage campaigns but cannot modify billing settings.
- A Call Agent can reply to incoming chats but cannot create or edit templates.
- The Owner oversees all WhatsApp features and user-level access.
Security Best Practices
- Restrict template and campaign creation to Owners/Admins to avoid policy violations.
- Assign chat-only access to agents handling customer conversations.
- Review permissions quarterly to ensure compliance with Meta's policies.
- Revoke access immediately for inactive or departing team members.
Summary
- Owners = full control (including billing + user roles).
- Admins = manage templates, campaigns, and chats, but no billing deletion.
- Managers = operational control without delete rights.
- Call Agents = chat-only access.
