2. Add users.
Every person on your Nextiva account must be assigned a role, including you.
There are two default types of roles (and you can create more):
- Users - Anyone who uses the Nextiva phone service.
- Administrators (“Admins”) - Special users who also have the ability to add or manage users and adjust settings. This role is great for anyone managing a team, or needing to respond quickly to changes in operations.
NOTE: If you’re the primary user on the account, you’ve already been added to the system as an admin.
- On the dashboard, choose Users to begin.
- Click Create users, fill in the form, and assign a license that includes voice services.
- If you create a user and no license is assigned, you’ll receive a notification upon save asking you to confirm that the user doesn’t need access that requires a license. You may click Assign a license to add one now or wait and add one later. Users needing access to administrative tools may not require a license, but voice and productivity tool users will need licenses to access those features.
