Read-only Admin role



Overview

overview page anchor

As a Read-only Admin, you can enter Flex to view and troubleshoot issues. You can:

  • Launch Flex from Twilio Console
  • View Admin dashboard configurations
  • View real-time queue statistics
  • View a list of agents on the Teams page

As a Read-only Admin, you cannot make any changes or interact with customers. You cannot:

  • Accept incoming calls
  • Change your own status
  • Make outbound calls
  • Edit the status of other agents
  • Edit the skills of other agents
  • Monitor chat or calls
  • Edit configurations on the Admin dashboard

Who can be a Read-only Admin?

The Read-only Admin role is only available to Twilio Console users in the Support role. When Support users log in to Flex from Twilio Console, they automatically receive Read-only Admin access. You cannot assign a Read-only Admin through the SSO process like you can with other Flex roles.

Support Engineers may find this role helpful.

Worker representation and pricing

A worker is created when a Support user logs in and is attributed the Read-Only Admin role. This is a billable worker in the named user pricing model(link takes you to an external page). A named user license is charged every month until the user is deprovisioned from Flex.

Because the provisioned worker has a routing expression, this Flex user technically can be assigned routing attributes; however, assigning routing attributes is not advised. The user is unable to change their status, accept incoming interactions, or make outbound voice calls.


  • Flex UI 2.3.x or above
  • Twilio-hosted Flex UI account

When users with the Support role launch Flex from Twilio Console, they automatically get access to the Read-only Admin role.

For more information, see our guide on RBAC(link takes you to an external page).
