The planning roadmap says to define user profiles before you add user accounts. A profile is the permission bundle. An account is the person. Creating people first and hoping the default permissions match the job is how reporting and call-variable edits go missing.

Skill groups then take users who already have the agent or supervisor role. An administrator account is not automatically a member of a queue.

The two profiles are different.

What is created first, the person or the profile?
Does an administrator login receive queue calls?
A missing report permission looks like
One profile can be reused for many accounts. True or false?
Where do you look when an admin cannot edit call variables?
