Agent roles reference
The Console currently employs the following roles:
- Application Administrator
- Console Access Manager
- Console Access Viewer
- Customer Care Portal Agent
- Customer Care Portal Agent Manager
- Customer Care Portal Editor
- Customer Care Portal Agent Viewer
- Application Configuration Admin
- Application Configuration Manager
- Application Configuration Viewer
- User Profile Admin
- User Profile Manager
- User Profile Viewer
- Property Configuration Manager

Note that the names shown in parentheses are the names you'll see in the Roles field if you Export agent data:
In other words. while the role might show up in Console as the Registration Experience Manager role, when you export agent roles that role will be listed as flow_manager. Similarly, the Application Admin role appears in the download as the admin role, the Customer Care Portal Editor role appears as the ccp_agent_update_only role, and so on.
For example, before putting together your agent infrastructure, you should have a clear understanding of the permissions granted to each of these roles. In addition, you might want to familiarize yourself with the following two topics:
Here’s a brief overview of the Console roles and the permissions granted to each one.
