How to manage profile settings in Aloware
The Profile Settings menu is where admins can add new users and configure their access to Aloware. This setup determines each user’s role, permissions, and available features so their responsibilities match the tools they can use.
For example, you can define how they answer calls, handle text messages, or access broadcasts and contact management.
Adding and configuring users in Aloware
Add a new user
Navigate to the Users section and click +Add User.
General Information
Start by filling in the user’s general information. Provide their first and last name, along with their email address. The email is important because it’s where Aloware sends the setup link and password.
You’ll also need to assign a role. Roles determine what the user can do inside Aloware. For example, agents focus on customer communication, while supervisors or admins manage team settings. If you’re unsure which role to choose, refer to the User Roles guide.
Configure call handling
Next, decide how this user will handle calls.
If the user will take calls through Aloware, select Using Apps. This allows them to answer through the web browser, desktop, or mobile app. Make sure their microphone works and third-party cookies are enabled.
If calls need to be forwarded to a personal phone, choose Using Phone Number and enter a mobile or landline. This option is often used for call tracking.
If the user should not answer calls, such as a manager, select Will Not Answer.
If you want to prevent missed calls, enable Backup Routing (Beta) to forward unanswered calls to a backup number.
User’s personal line
Assign a Personal Line so communications linked to it appear under My Personal Line in Aloware Talk. This acts as the user’s primary line.
Agent-specific features
Admins and supervisors can choose which advanced features to enable for the user. For example, you can:
Allow or disable text message handling if SMS is not part of their role.
Give permission to change contact ownership or modify contact ring groups.
Enable call barge and whisper, which lets supervisors coach agents during live calls without the customer hearing.
Grant broadcast access for sending bulk messages and ringless voicemails.
Allow the ability to delete contacts, if their role requires it.
These options should be assigned carefully, since they affect how much control a user has over customer records and campaigns.
Finalizing setup
Once details are entered and settings are selected, click Add. The user will appear in the user dashboard, ready to use Aloware with their assigned permissions.
