Team & Staff

We have concept of staff & team to make team collaboration intuitive & productive at the same time.

You can add staff via “Staff management(https://dashboard.bik.ai/settings)” from our settings page

From staff management screen, you have the ability to add an individual staff member as well as a team.


​

Primary Fields while creating a staff being:

  1. Role type

    1. Agent

    2. Admin

    3. Team manager

  2. Name

  3. Email Id

We work on concept of RBAC(Role based access control), a method of restricting access based on the roles of individual users within an enterprise. RBAC ensures employees access only information they need to do their jobs and prevents them from accessing information that doesn't pertain to them.

Please reach out to [email protected] to know more about roles & access controls and configure it for your store if required.
