Manage your bot users

When creating an end-to-end bot flow, there may be instances where certain flows need to be handled by other teams or require assistance from other team members. To enable effective collaboration and allow your team to contribute to building an efficient bot, you can share bot access with other users. A notification is sent to the super admin when the invited users(collaborators) accept or reject your request.

note

Only the super admin can provide bot access to other users. Access can be revoked at any moment on the Access control tab.

Share bot access

Sharing bot access allows you to grant view or edit permissions to other users. You have full control over which modules they can access. However, only admins or super admins can grant these permissions.

Each environment has a unique bot ID. When granting access, make sure you are in the correct environment for the bot. To provide access across all environments, you need to grant access individually in each one.

To share bot access with other users, follow these steps:

  1. In the Environment drop-down menu, select the environment for which you want to grant access.

  2. On the left navigation bar, go to Settings and click on Access Control.

  4. Click Save. The invited user will receive an email with an invitation to access the bot.

When bot admins provide you with access to a bot, you can accept the invitation as outlined below. Note that bot invites are specific to each environment; if you are given access to a Live or Production bot, you will not be able to access Staging bots.If you need access to other environments of the bot, your admin must provide access separately for each one.

  1. To proceed with accepting the invite, you have two options available:

    A. If a bot admin has already provided access, you can accept the invitation received via email.
