User Administration

The "Users" view allows administrators to search, create and configure Nimbus users. It consists of the following elements:

  • A user list with search, filter and create options. 💡The availability of Nimbus users is directly tied to your (Azure) user directory. You can search users by common or unique criteria such as @domain or their O365 ID.
  • A user detail view, opened when clicking on or creating a user. The view is distinguished by several tabs as explained further below.

Filtering

When your current Nimbus view offers filters:

  • Click the filter icon for a filter selection menu.
  • Click on a filter name to directly add it and start.
  • Click the toggles to show or hide a filter.

When filters are already active:

Unless “All” is shown as filter content, your results are filtered.

  • Click ✖ inside a filter to clear its contents.
  • The filter itself will remain available for use.
  • To hide a filter again, use the filter menu. 
    ⮑ Doing so will also clear the filter from your search results.

Overview - User Listing

The table of existing users lists the following details:

Column Description / Purpose
Display Name Clear Name of the user - as shown to other users 
Organization Unit

All items (including services) in Nimbus are structured into Organization Units (OU). The user's OU also determines:

UPN User Principal Name to which calls get forwarded to by Nimbus services.
O365 ID Unique Azure / O365 ID under which the user is identified by.
Department Department field (blank if not specified within Azure). 
Attendant Console enabled Shows if an Attendant Console license is enabled for this user. This is a separate Luware application that can also run within the Nimbus Portal UI. 
Active Profile Shows the currently active Responsibility Profile for that user. Primarily used to indicate Contact Center participation.
Number of routing services Shows the amount of services that this user is a part of.

Managing Users

Nimbus retrieves all users from your local O365 user directory. Creating a user means that Nimbus assigns User Roles and Groups for that user, as well as define criteria used from call distribution to that user.

Creating Users

INC User Assignment Types

Each Nimbus service can be of a different user assignment type that determines how users are associated to this service:

  • MS Teams-based: Directly tied to your MS Teams "Teams" as determined during Service Provisioning. Users get automatically added and synced to a Nimbus service.
  • Skill-based: Applies for manually created services via Service Administration. Requires skill-assignment from users you assign to the service from within your tenant directory.
  • None: Has no users, but can be configured by any administrator. Used for IVR or first-level redirection services. 

☝ Important to know: The user assignment type is fixated when a service was either provisioned via MS Teams or manually created via Service Administration, e.g. for IVR or skill-based distribution purposes. A switch between MS Teams-based and Skill-based services is not possible due to how individual users are configured and how Nimbus Features operate.

 

 

GOOD TO KNOW

💡 In its default scenario, Nimbus will add users automatically to its internal directory, keeping it in synched with your MS Teams “Team” structure. This is called “MS Teams-based” Service Provisioning

Other scenarios involve manual service and (optional) user provisioning in the Administration backend, without the need of a Teams channel. Typical examples are IVR routing or skill-based services with a company-wide team of specialists.

🤔 When should I create Nimbus users manually?

Use Case Description
Contact Center Agent In case you want to create a Contact Center service without a direct MS Teams "Team" connection you can add users manually by searching within your O365/Azure user directory. By individually a ssigning licenses to those users you enable Skills and Responsibilities for skill-based distribution within any (future) Contact Center service type.
Frontpage Support / First Contact  Some users may not directly participate in a Nimbus service, but use Luware Interact to directly communicate with customers via embedded Website widget. These users need to be added to the Nimbus list before setting up Interact.

☝ Important to know: The user assignment type is fixated when a service was either provisioned via MS Teams or manually created via Service Administration, e.g. for IVR or skill-based distribution purposes. A switch between MS Teams-based and Skill-based services is not possible due to technical constraints. 

🔍 Things to note:

  • Manually added users will get login access to the Nimbus portal but may not see any relevant reporting data until they are part of at least one service.
  • Certain Features are individually enabled as extensions within the Service Settings of a service. → For example, one service may have the Attendant Console extension enabled for its users, so the menu option becomes available to all of them.
  • Any user that already exists in any Nimbus Service does not need to be recreated / added again and can be upgraded for further licenses and use cases. A user can act in multiple different Roles simultaneously.
  • Nimbus keeps track of users only for its internal Organization Units and Role Access Concept assignment system. Any Nimbus users are always created by reading from your existing O365 / Azure user directory. Nimbus does not create user accounts on its own.
 

Removing Users

☝ Removing users will also remove their access to the Nimbus portal. Please note that there are constraints that may prevent you from removing a user. A tooltip over an inactive deletion icon will inform you why deletion is not possible.

Example: A user cannot be removed manually if their user account was provisioned via a service synced to MS-Teams

GOOD TO KNOW

  • You can delete any user that has been manually added and is not synched to a MS Teams-based service yet.
  • Users that are automatically created (e.g. during Service Provisioning) are tied to an active service team and cannot be deleted.
  • Users removed from the Azure user directory are also automatically removed from Nimbus.
  • Deleting users in the Nimbus UI will not remove them from your O365 / Azure user directory, nor remove them from MS Teams.
 

Editing User Details

To edit a single user, click anywhere on its entry.

 ☝ Please note: 

  • Certain aspects of a user, e.g. Skills and Responsibility Profiles can also be managed by Team Owners, Supervisors or the user themselves via their view of the Frontend UI.  🔍 Also see Agent Service Settings and Duty States.
  • Changes to users can be applied by any (Admin) user with the corresponding role. It is highly recommended for Administrators to coordinate with Team Owners and other Admins when a change of user configurations is planned, as changes can have significant impact on services distributing tasks to that user.

Settings Tabs

🔍 The tabs contents below reflect the user settings available in the Nimbus UI. Please note that some tabs only show when related Nimbus Features were made available on Tenant Level and got enabled via the General tab of the respective user.

General

General User Settings

An example user with all licenses applied
The "General" tab shows details of a user :
Column Description / Purpose
Display Name Display name of the user, as shown in the Nimbus UI.
Organization unit

The Organization Units of this user.

💡 Note: This determines the items the user can see within Nimbus, not necessarily reflecting which services or rights this user has.

First Name First Name - as provided by user directory.
Last Name Last Name - as provided by user directory.
UPN User Principal Name to which calls get forwarded to by Nimbus.
O365 ID Unique Azure / O365 ID under which the user is identified by.
Licenses See chapter below.

USER ACCOUNTS AND USER DETAILS SYNCHRONIZATION

🤔 Why are details read-only? User details are read from your tenant's user directory. Changes are made by your local tenant administrator. Nimbus does not alter these fields to avoid conflicts.

🤔 How are new users added? After Service Provisioning Nimbus adds additional users and grants User Roles accordingly. This " MS Teams-based" User assignment type is the default for Nimbus "Advanced Routing" services. You may however add users manually e.g. to assign them in standalone services that use Skills and Responsibility-based routing without a dedicated Teams channel necessary. More on this topic can be found on Service types.

 

USER SYNCHRONICITY ON DELETED TEAMS

When a MS Teams "Teams" is removed manually - without prior Uninstallation of the related Nimbus service - the users are not shown within the Nimbus user administration list anymore. However, the team and its members are still shown within Service Administration until the Nimbus team is fully removed from Azure. 

Additionally

  • Users may still be shown when part of at least one (still) operational service.
  • Nimbus keeps a history of the team members (retrieved from MS teams channel) even after the channel was removed from the teams client. To the User / Service Administrator this will appear as a mismatch of user count.
 

Licenses

Note that certain Nimbus Features described in the tabs below are tied to a license. You may not see all user options and configuration tabs until a corresponding license is applied to the user.

The following licenses are available:

License Description Enables Features (Tabs)
Contact Center Allows assignment of Skills and Responsibilities for this user to act as Service Agent (either in combination with existing MS-Teams services or standalone). Call distribution to Agents is done via Distribution Policies

SkillsProfiles.

🔍 Also see Distribution Order.

Attendant Console Grants access to Attendant Console features for that user, to be found within the Nimbus frontend main menu.

None.

💡 Users can operate Attendant Console immediately via Frontend and adjust their personal Attendant Settings.

Interact Grants access to Interact features, allowing the user direct interaction with customers visiting via a Website or different Frontend.

Interact Tab.

🔍 Also see Interact prerequirements and Use Case - Enabling additional authorization for Interact

Assistant Grants access to Assistant, a standalone app that provides context and open Direct Call Templates during a service call. 

Assistant Tab.

🔍 Also see Assistant PrerequirementsAssistant User SettingsAssistant Configuration

Transcription Grants access to Transcription, enabling live caption and transcription for calls.

None.

💡Users immediately see the Transcription feature widget in My Sessions when enabled and made visible in a widget for their service(s).

✅ Related Requirement: Certain user Nimbus Features also require a service service with the corresponding license applied via Service Administration. For example: Only a Contact Center service can assign Agents manually and enact Distribution Policies.

Modalities

INC Modalities

Modalities are indivdual channels of communication and can be individually enabled or disabled for a user.

Individual modalities enabled / disabled on a user
 

Modality Concepts

For more detailed information, refer to the individual pages on Audio / Video, Instant Messaging, External Tasks and Email, each explaining how they tie into the Task Handling concept behind Nimbus.

 

 

 

 

 
 

Services

Services User Settings

The "Services" tab shows the Nimbus service teams the user is currently a part of:

Column Description / Purpose
Service Display name of the service as shown in the Nimbus UI. Can be changed via the Service Settings.
Users Amount of users in total within that service.
User Assignment Type

Specifies how this user was assigned to a service:

💡 This tab is only for information purposes. The removal of a user is based on the User assignment type of the service.

  • For Microsoft Teams-based services, the user is removed as soon as it also no longer part of the team.
  • For Skill-based (Nimbus) services the user must be manually removed via the Service Administration > Users/Permissions tab.
 
 

Roles

Roles User Settings

The "Roles" tab allows you to inspect and assign (additional or custom) roles to a particular user. It also provides an overview in which Organization Unit scope each individual role applies. 

Roles Tab: Certain roles are automatically synched, while Custom and Nimbus default roles may be manually (re)assigned.

Good to know

  • Tenant Administrators can act outside of the Organization Units restriction and freely can assign Nimbus roles to users.

As Tenant Administrator you are also a regular “Nimbus” user and can also grant yourself (and other admins) access to services. Consult the Change History to follow any changes on roles done by other administrators. 

The Change History will list role changes and the (Admin) user that issued the change.
 

Assigning Default Roles

In this view, Tenant Administrators can do the following: 

  • Inspect the existing roles on a user. Note that some roles are granted automatically (e.g. as part of a MS Teams Ownership) so the "Edit" or "Remove" button may not be shown.
  • Adjust the Organization Units assignment of any existing roles.
  • Apply further default or Custom Roles → Read more on this below. 

Nimbus Default Roles

🔍The tabs below are an excerpt of available Nimbus default Portal Roles and Admin Roles. Consult the User Role (RBAC) Matrix for more detailed information.

Learn more about User Assignment…

INC User Assignment Types

Each Nimbus service can be of a different user assignment type that determines how users are associated to this service:

  • MS Teams-based: Directly tied to your MS Teams "Teams" as determined during Service Provisioning. Users get automatically added and synced to a Nimbus service.
  • Skill-based: Applies for manually created services via Service Administration. Requires skill-assignment from users you assign to the service from within your tenant directory.
  • None: Has no users, but can be configured by any administrator. Used for IVR or first-level redirection services. 

☝ Important to know: The user assignment type is fixated when a service was either provisioned via MS Teams or manually created via Service Administration, e.g. for IVR or skill-based distribution purposes. A switch between MS Teams-based and Skill-based services is not possible due to how individual users are configured and how Nimbus Features operate.

 

 

 
 

🔎The table below lists all detail permissions. In a nutshell, Portal user roles can do the following:

Tenant Administrator
  • Cannot access service data unless the user is also part of a service.
Organization Unit (OU) Administrator
  • Same as Tenant Admin, however, their scope is limited to the configuration entities (available in Portal) and services within their assigned Organization Units.
Workflow (WF) Admin Limited
User Supervisor(1)

Contact Center Requires a Contact Center license on the user. An addition to an Owner-type role, manually granted via User Administration.

Service Supervisor(1)

Contact Center Requires a Contact Center license on the user. An addition to an Owner-type role, manually granted via User Administration.

Contact Center (CC) User 

Contact Center Requires a Contact Center (CC) license on the General User Settings

Service Owner

Contact Center Requires a Contact Center (CC) license on the General User Settings.

Service Agent

Contact Center Requires a Contact Center (CC) license on the General User Settings. An associated Microsoft Teams channel is not required anymore, so the user can act as “standalone” specialist for dedicated tasks.

Team Owner

Default role granted during Service Provisioning via MS Teams.

  • Role synched to MS Teams Channel “Owner” role.(2)
  • Can fully manage the respective Nimbus Service Settings
Team Owner Limited

A reduced role that can be granted during Service Provisioning via MS Teams.

  • Manually assigned as “Team Owner Limited” via the Service Settings > “Users” tab.
  • Role synched to MS Teams Channel “Owner” role.(2)
  • Can manage a limited set of Service Settings (SLA, Opening Hours, Resources, Playlists, Workflows).
Team Member

A Nimbus user synched from the Tenant's user directory.

  • Synced with the Team Members of the associated “team” in MS Teams.(2)
  • Can access Nimbus services and data(3) via the Portal and  Nimbus Teams Tab once being a member of a service team.
Portal user roles overview

(1) GDPR General Data Access limitation: If a user has a Supervisor but not a Team Owner / Service Admin role within a service, only limited datasets in the historical BI Template will be shown. Other tabs and queries in the Power BI Report may appear blank. 
☝ This is intended by design. To see a full dataset (including live Reporting data on the portal), the same user also needs a "Service/Team Owner" role assigned for the respective service(s).

(2) Nimbus “Team” roles are only referenced to limit access to Nimbus-related functionality. Vice-versa, MS Teams roles are not affected by Nimbus role assignment. Even in a “limited” Nimbus role - Team Owners can continue to act with all their non-Nimbus related privileges within MS Teams.
(3) ☝Data visibility consideration: Note that MS Teams “Guests” may also get “indirect” access to Nimbus service data, e.g. by seeing call context posted in Adaptive Cards in generally available chat channels. → We recommend to review your MS Teams user privileges regularly to prevent data leaks.

Flexible Dashboards

Contact Center - Non-Personal Dashboards and Personal Dashboards require a Contact Center license on the user to become accessible. Each Dashboard can be customized with Dashboard Widgets.

🔎 W = Widget access. A user needs a Contact Center license to see Dashboards, and can add Dashboard Widgets. However, seeing data (Services / Users / OUs) inside those widgets requires an additional R permission (e.g. Team Member, Agent role) within the service / team.

Assigning Custom Roles

In addition to the Nimbus predefined User Roles (Team Member, Team Owner, etc.), you can also assign Custom Roles to Nimbus users. Users with Custom Roles assigned can access Nimbus pages and properties according to the permissions defined in the Custom Role.

Custom Roles appear in the dropdown list among other User Roles when you click on Add. Once a Custom Role is assigned to a user, you can assign Organization Units to it just as for other User Roles.

💡 Note that you can assign up to 5 Custom Roles to a user. If this limit is reached for a user, further Custom Roles will be disabled in the dropdown.

Expand to learn more about Custom Roles…

Custom Roles

Precondition: Custom Roles can only be created, edited, and assigned in Nimbus Administration UI. The role is then applied in the User Administration. Portal Users and Team Owners don't have access to editing Custom Roles.

Contact Center Note that Custom Roles can be defined with no restriction but require a Contact Center user license in order to apply them to a user via the Roles Tab in the User Settings. The License itself is applied in the General User Settings.

 

Custom roles are defined as independent configuration entities, to be later applied to any user. The following base properties must be defined before the custom role can be defined further:

Property Description
Name

Name of the Custom Role. 

💡Note that this will impact how it appears in other parts of the Nimbus UI.

Organization Unit

Organization Unit under which this role will be visible under. 

💡 This is particularly relevant when you want to limit availability of certain roles to very specific services and their users.

Description

A short description. 

💡This is shown in the listing of all available roles and has no other system effects.

Users

A list of users which currently have this role assigned. 

  • Roles are assigned via User Administration > <User Name> >  Roles Tab.
  • As long as at least one user has a role assigned, deletion of the role is not possible.

💡 Note that you can assign up to 5 Custom Roles to a user.

Creating a Custom Role

Custom roles are defined in several tabs:

  • General Tab - Setting the (or changing an existing) display name, Organization Unit placement.
  • Administration Tab - Setting detail permissions for the (new) role.

General Tab

General Tab

Here you define the Clear UI Name of the Role as it will appear in the Nimbus UI, the Organization Units visibility and a Description for the role for whenever it appears in listings.

🤔 Thinking about naming conventions

While the name of Custom Roles has no system-relevant function, other administrators will also see them in listings. For those reasons it is useful to agree on naming conventions that orients themselves on common company or business terminology standards. Another way to think about it is to think about features (scope) the role is going to manage.

  • Role Naming Examples: Administrator, Supervisor, Organizer, Manager, Coordinator ,…
  • Scope Naming Examples: General, Distribution, Extensions, Licenses, Workforce, Agent, User, …
 
 
 

Administration Tab 

Administration Tab

Here you can grant individual Read, Update, Create, and Delete rights to the role. While selecting individual permissions, please note the following behavior:

  • Note that selecting certain permissions will automatically create dependencies.  
    For example: Selecting a Delete permissions will also require View permissions.
  • Permissions are grouped into areas to allow for easier assignment in bulk.
  • Selecting entire groups “inherits down”.  Yellow checkboxes will signal that not the full set is inherited (e.g. when exceptions were made).

Learning more about about roles

The roles you assign here use the existing Role-based Access Concept (RBAC) in Nimbus. If you need further details on what each default role permission does, refer to our User Role (RBAC) Matrix. You can also use it as a (naming) reference for your Custom Roles.

 
 
 
 
 

Skills

Skills User Settings

Allows assignment of previously configured skills to this user.

Preconditions

  • The "Skills" tab is only available when the user has a Contact Center license assigned in the "General" Tab.
  • Skills and Categories need to be defined first (via Admin > Configuration) before you can assign them. Refer to Skills and Responsibilities.
 

Once Preconditions are met, it's time to assign skills via the "Skills" tab. Perform the following steps:

  1. First, add a Add a language skill to the user. In this example we use Greek and English, both in the the category "Language Proficiency". 
    ⮑ 💡Note how Skill Levels were originally enabled for this category and thus need to be defined once the skill is added to a user.
Assigning Skills and Responsibilities to a user, here with newly created profile called “Backoffice”
  1. Use the Sliders to define the Skill levels
    1. 💡Note that skills with levels are always including previous stages. An Advanced user will also be considered as Beginner.
    2. You can require / exclude users when configuring your Distribution Profiles (e.g. to start support with "Native Speakers" first and gradually lowering the skill requirements). ☝ This is a very good point to double-check if your skills / categories / levels within the complete and in order. Once assigned to users they cannot be changed easily their levels are now being fixated.
  2. Use Responsibilities as optional level
    1. 💡This means that you can define OPTIONALLY responsibility criteria in addition to existing skills level.
  3. Continue to define levels and responsibility for each profile
    1. 💡 Note that a user can have multiple Responsibility Profiles assigned, each with their own set / level of skills and responsibility.
    2. 💡You can add further profiles to a user via the Profiles tab.

Important: Levels and Distribution Policies

Distribution Policies define the skill requirements to your users. If your user does not fullfill the level criteria or lacks any of the skills, they will not be selected for calls.

Related to that: Note that responsibility - while optional on the user definition - will exclude the user from any Distribution Policies that define / demand levels of responsibility. Learn more about this on our Distribution Order page.

 

Skills assigned to a user will have no effect on call distribution until you perform the following related configuration steps:

  1. Don't forget to include newly required skills and responsibilties in your Distribution Policies. They will define the call escalation levels on your available user pool.
  2. Assign the Distribution Policy to the corresponding  Contact Center licensed Service. This is done in the individual Service Settings > "Distribution" tab. Note that this only works on services where the User assignment type is "Skill-based".

The following elements can be configured:

Element  Description
Active

✅ This feature needs to be enabled for your Tenant, see preconditions above.

☝ Note that Interact licenses (granted via General Tab) remain assigned to this user even when this is toggled inactive.

Audio & Video

When enabled the user can be contacted via call modality using Interact. The Call Handling procedure is the same as regular Nimbus service calls.

💡Regular Nimbus distributed service calls will still reach this user despite of this setting.

Instant Messaging

When enabled the user can be contacted via chat modality using Interact. The Chat Handling procedure is the same as regular service chats.

💡Regular Nimbus distributed service chats will still reach this user despite of this setting.

Direct System Messages

💡These messages customize how this user name appears in chat and which custom messages are sent to that user and the customer they interact with.

Restrict Access

Assistant User Settings

Preconditions

The Assistant license needs to assigned to a user for the settings to become visible. → See General User Settings. If you want to assign Assistant licenses in Bulk, head over to License Management.

Granting the Assistant license will make the tab visible.
 

Assistant Context and Templates

Allows to assign Direct Call Templates to the user. Template actions trigger only on direct calls to this user in particular.

Element

 Description

Direct Call Templates

✅ Requires one or several configured Direct Call Templates to assign.

By clicking "+Add", template items under the same Organization Units (or higher) can be assigned to this user.

💡 Note that the templates will be called in the order they were added to the list. You can drag and drop template items to change the order.

🤔 Can I also assign Templates to Services?

Yes Service Call Templates are similar in design to Direct Call templates, but are configured separatedly and applied on service level.

Show me how to assign templates to a service

To assign templates that trigger on service call:

  1. You need define separate Service Call Templates first.
  2. Assign these service templates via the Service Settings > Context tab. → They will now trigger on a service call, in addition to any individual user templates.
 
 

🤔 What is Conversation Context and how is it different to Templates?

  • Conversation Context can be seen as "common ground" URLs to be opened for all service users within the Nimbus portal or Assistant. Context is applied via Extension Service Settings.
  • Compared to Context, Call Templates allow for more control and can also execute sequential actions in the background, invisible to users (e.g. to perform a ticket-creation while triggering a status update).
  • Context has no functional reliance or dependency to either service or direct call templates. Both features can be used in combination or standalone. ☝ However, be aware that your users might get duplicate websites opened when they are defined as context / templates and assigned on both service and user level.
