AWS Contact Center Series #4: User Management & Security Profiles | Amazon Connect Tutorial

This video is part of a tutorial series focusing on managing agents and their permissions within Amazon Connect.

Key Technological Concepts & Features Covered

1. User Management in Amazon Connect

Creating and managing users (agents) directly within the Amazon Connect console.
Assigning usernames, emails, passwords, and other optional fields to users.
Linking users to routing profiles that determine the queues (types of calls) they handle.

2. Security Profiles

Security profiles define the permissions and access levels of users in Amazon Connect.
Default security profiles include:
- Administrator
- Agent
- Contact Center Manager
- Quality Analyst
Administrators have broad permissions, such as creating/editing routing profiles and contact flows.
Custom security profiles can be created by selecting specific permissions to tailor user access.
Users can be assigned one or multiple security profiles.

3. Agent Settings

Users can be configured to use a softphone (a virtual phone within Amazon Connect) or a desk phone.
Options include enabling auto-accept for calls and defining After Contact Work (ACW) time, which is the wrap-up time after calls.
Agent hierarchy/grouping is mentioned as an advanced feature to be covered later.

4. Agent Statuses

Agent statuses represent the current state of an agent (e.g., Available, Offline, Meeting).
Custom statuses can be created to reflect real-world scenarios like breaks or meetings.
Statuses help in managing agent availability and productivity.

5. Login Demonstration

The presenter demonstrates logging in as a created user to show how permissions affect the user interface and capabilities.
