Dialpad makes it easy for administrators to set up and manage their teams.
Share responsibility and configure your team the way you need — Dialpad provides 6 different types of Admin permissions.
- Company Admin
- Office Admin
- Department Admin
- Contact Center Admin
- Contact Center Supervisor
- Coaching Team Coach
Let's take a closer look at what each permission type means.
Company Admin
As the first person to sign up for your company, you're automatically made the Company Admin. Keep in mind that a Google Apps admin or a Microsoft admin also has the same level of access as a Company Admin in Dialpad.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Dialpad account have more than one admin?
Yes! The original account admin can also assign admin status to anyone else in the organization.
