This role is crafted for specialists with a focus on managing customer support tasks.

Key Permissions:

They are frontline support providers with certain restrictions.

Note: Permissions for default roles are fixed. Premium plan users can, however, create custom roles.

Note: If you are on the Premium plans, you can go beyond the default roles. Creating custom roles allows for more precise control over what each team member can access and modify. Tailor the permissions to fit your team's unique operational needs.
