How to manage profile settings in Aloware

Profile Settings in Aloware allow admins to create and configure user accounts, define access levels, and assign communication tools based on each role. Setting this up correctly ensures every team member has the right permissions to do their job effectively.


Adding and configuring users in Aloware

  1. Go to Users

    Navigate to the Users section and click +Add User.

    Users section with +Add user button

  2. Fill in 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.

  3. Configuring 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.

  4. 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:

  1. Allow or disable text message handling if SMS is not part of their role.

  2. Give permission to change contact ownership or modify contact ring groups.

  3. Enable call barge and whisper, which lets supervisors coach agents during live calls without the customer hearing.

  4. Grant broadcast access for sending bulk messages and ringless voicemails.

  5. Allow the ability to delete contacts, if their role requires it.

Advanced permissions with toggles for SMS handling, broadcasts, and contact management.

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.
