Granular campaign control permissions

Administrators can now assign individual permissions to start, stop, and recycle campaigns. This feature enables administrators to grant campaign management access to non-administrative personnel who do not need to modify more critical settings such as contact lists, or caller ID information. This added granularity ensures that only authorized users can alter campaign configurations and allows others to manage day-to-day campaign activities, which improves security and compliance. The new permissions are:

  • Outbound > Campaign > Start
  • Outbound > Campaign > Stop
  • Outbound > Campaign > Recycle
Previously, these functions were tied to the broader Edit permission, which granted access to all campaign configurations.
