Managing user settings across your account

Super Admins within your RingCentral account have access to an additional area of App Connect in which they can manage the end user's experience across their entire account. This feature primarily allows admins to set certain preferences, or mandate certain preferences across their entire account. This allows admins for example to mandate that all calls across an account be logged. Or that specific settings be employed for their CRM.

Admin tab in App Connect

The admin tab in App Connect gives admins the ability to manage settings on behalf of others

Gaining access to the admin tab

When you first load App Connect, you may not see the Admin tab. To make the Admin tab appears please check the following:

  1. Make sure you possess the "Super Admin" role in the RingCentral Admin Console.
  2. Connect to your CRM

Managing settings on behalf of others

Once you have access to the Admin tab, admins can manage the following:

  • Call and SMS logging settings
  • Contact and call-pop settings
  • CRM-specific settings
  • Advanced settings
  • Set the custom CRM manifest URL

Logging calls

Admins can set call logging policies

For each setting that can be managed by an admin, one can do the following:

  • Mandate the setting be a specific value. This is done by disabling the user's ability to customize the value, and select the value you prefer.
  • Set the default value of a setting. This is done by setting the preferred value, and by enabling the user to customize the value.

What users within your account will see

When a setting is mandated by an admin, a lock icon will appear next to the setting and it will be disabled, thereby allowing the user to see the value, but be unable to change it.

Managing custom adapter settings

App Connect enables developers to build custom adapters to connect to proprietary CRMs, or CRMs not supported natively by App Connect. Users can load a custom adapter under "Developer Settings." Admins however can manage this setting across their entire account under the "Custom adapter" area of the Admin tab.
