In Tidio’s operator settings, you can add, manage, and customize operator accounts. You can also set their permissions and create departments for your teams to provide the best experience for your agents and website visitors.
Add a new operator
To add a new operator to your Tidio admin panel, go to your admin panel and click on your picture in the bottom left corner. Then, hover over the list of available operators and select Show all operators.

Alternatively, you can go to Settings> general> Team> Operators and click the blue Add Operator button.

In the pop-up window, provide the name, email address, and permission type of the new operator. An account activation email will be sent to the new operator. Make sure they receive it.

Once the new operator receives the email, they can log in to their Tidio account via the link and password provided.
If you or your operator need to reset your password again, you can follow the procedure detailed in the article here: Can’t sign in.
Once the operator is logged in, they can change their password or name by going to Settings.> Account and clicking Change Password or Edit the Name field.

How to customize your operator profile

[note_box] Tip: When adding a new operator, it’s a good idea to make sure the account activation email isn’t sent to your spam folder. This sometimes happens, especially if it’s the operator’s first time receiving an email from Tidio. [/note_box]
