Overview of Genesys Cloud 2 Digital and Genesys Cloud 3 Digital licenses
AI-generated summary
Genesys Cloud Digital licenses provide digital-channel-only capabilities through the Digital agent role, which is included by default and supports chat, email, and messaging without voice functionality. Organizations implementing these licenses assign the Digital agent role via Menu > User Management > Roles/Permissions. For existing Genesys Cloud subscribers, administrators can create custom roles by copying existing roles and disabling voice-related permissions, including Conversation > Call – Accept, Conversation > Call – Add, Conversation > Call – Record, Conversation > Callback – Accept, and Conversation > Callback – Create. This approach prevents automatic upgrade to full CX licenses that include voice capabilities.
Genesys Cloud CX 2 Digital and CX 3 Digital represent digital-only subscription packages that optionally include a workspace for multi-channel parallel management and customizable panels to optimize digital exchange operations. Fair use allocations do not apply to digital-only licenses. Adding the Communicate voice license to a Digital subscription automatically upgrades the subscription to the equivalent full CX license tier, triggering associated billing changes.
In digital-only organizations, the Master Admin role contains voice-related permissions that can inadvertently trigger full CX license activation. To maintain digital-only status, administrators must manually remove these voice permissions from the Master Admin role. The Digital agent role contains all necessary permissions for digital-only operations, while the Master Admin role requires modification to prevent unintended license enablement. After configuring roles by removing voice-related permissions, administrators assign the modified roles to agents through the Roles/Permissions interface. The Communicate license is not included with CX 2 Digital or CX 3 Digital subscriptions, and adding it results in automatic license upgrade to the full CX version. Fair use policies apply to standard licenses but do not extend to digital-only subscriptions.
Genesys Cloud CX 2 Digital and Genesys Cloud CX 3 Digital licenses are GenesysCloud packages. While these licenses are similar to the regular Genesys Cloud packages, they do not include voice.This workspace is optional, but optimizes the management of digital exchanges, enables multi-channel management in parallel, and includes customizable panels.
