To support more flexible configurations, Genesys Cloud added permission requirements for interaction routing. To be considered for routing, an agent must be assigned a permission corresponding to the interaction’s media type. The following permissions will be used:
| Media type | Permission required |
|---|---|
| Voice | Conversation > Call > Accept |
| Conversation > Email > Accept | |
| Webchat | Conversation > Webchat > Accept |
| Messaging / SMS | Conversation > Message > Accept |
| Callback | Conversation > Callback > Accept |
Before making this change, Genesys Cloud will automatically add these permissions to any role that contains the permission Routing > Agent > OnQueue. This change ensures that agents will not lose the ability to receive interactions. After the change, organization administrators may choose to remove permissions for various media types from their agents, depending on their organization’s needs.
