 Limiting Access to Recordings

Good afternoon,

I am trying to limit access to recordings based on user groups, which sounds possible based on the article below, but I cannot get it to function as I want. I am giving users a general 8x8 Admin Console > Recording role, and then additionally a Storage Admin role that specifies the user group they should have access to. Despite this, they seem to still be able to see all recordings. What am I doing wrong?

8x8 Admin Console: Set up user groups

Thanks in advance!

Hi Shawn - I recently set this up as you described above and it is working as expected. It sounds like you have set it up the same as myself. Can you post a screen shot of your storage assignment for one of your users? I am just going to assume you have users split into different user groups.

Thanks

Lee

Hi Lee,

Really sorry, I thought I was going to get an email alert when a reply came in and didn't see this until today.

I created a group of users and set their calls to record. I created two roles for another user, who needs access to listen to the recordings.

The first role is a Recording Admin so they can access the Recordings section of 8x8. The other role is a Storage admin which specifies aforementioned user group. Screenshot below.

Thanks!

From what I can see but without knowing all the configuration on your system you just need to change the scope of the storage admin assignment to the relevant users group that they are restricted to viewing. If they have permissions for sites or contact centres then they will see those also.

My example below for the storage admin assignment for the relevant user group called "Complete"

Hope this helps

Hi Lee,

Thank you so much for this! Super helpful!

I was stupidly assuming that all three dropdowns (Site, Contact Center, and Group) were all required. I've been fighting with this for weeks.

That’s exactly what i did when I first set it up. Like it was hierarchical or something.

Glad you’re sorted

Hopefully 8x8 update the documentation around this as it doesn't seem to be very intuitive.
