Creating and Managing User Profiles

Administration > User Profiles

A User Profile refers to a group of permissions assigned to users to control their access to different parts of the TrueDialog Portal. By default, your account will inherit five profiles covering common situations. However, you can create custom profiles tailored to your specific requirements. This guide will show you the steps for creating a custom User Profile. However, due to the many permission options available, we recommend discussing your needs with one of our knowledgeable support team members: email support@truedialog.com or call 1-877-501-4276.

Below is a table of the default profiles and a description of the permissions they grant.

Testing new profiles before applying them to your user accounts is recommended.

Edit User Profile

You can only edit the profiles you created; any inherited profiles can’t be edited.

Warning: Changing permissions of a profile currently assigned to users will change their access to the Portal.

Warning: Deleting a profile requires you to select a replacement profile. The replacement profile will be assigned to users with the profile you delete. Changing a user’s profile will change their access to the Portal. If you are unsure how this will affect your users, contact our support team at support@truedialog.com or 1-877-501-4276 before deleting a profile.
