    Dear Community

    Is there a way to disable 'direct calling' so that dial-out calls can only be made on-behalf of a queue please?

    Hi Blair,

    Is the person in question using a physical phone? 

    If so, you can restrict them by setting a phone number length on the actual phone settings via the web interface. (work around)

    Otherwise you can try to remove their permission to start a call if they have the communicate role assigned. Rather create a custom role to test this. 

    Hope this helps.


    Kind regards,
    Jason

    Hey, Jason-that last suggestion was one of the things I tried, where I created a custom role that does not have the ability to create a standard call. 

    I thought it it might work, hoping the agent could still place calls on behalf of queue since those are generated from the queue icon rather than the calls panel. Unfortunately, taking away the call right as granted by Communicate User (and PureCloud User) roles left the agent only able to create an email or a chat on behalf of the queue, but not a call.

    Dear Community

    I have added an Idea request for this if you would like to vote for it please https://purecloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/CLCOLL-I-302

    This continues to make confusion for users who should be making dial-out calls on behalf of queue and not directly from their phone...
