Where to Sign In
- Agents and Supervisors can sign in directly at
https://desk.<domain>or athttps://ui.<domain>. - Company Administrators and System Administrators sign in at
https://ui.<domain>.
Automatic Desk Handoff
When an Agent (ROLE_USER) or Supervisor (ROLE_SUPERVISOR) signs in at the Admin Console (https://ui.<domain>) without a deep link, the console automatically hands your session over to the Desk (https://desk.<domain>).
- How handoff works: Your session token is passed in the browser URL fragment (
#token=…), which is never sent over the network in HTTPRefererheaders and is stripped from the address bar as soon as the Desk finishes loading. - Switching between Console and Desk:
- From the Admin Console, click Desk at the top of the left navigation menu.
- From the Desk, open your Account menu (top-right corner) and click the link to the Admin Console (opens in a new tab so your active browser softphone and any live call on the Desk are never interrupted).
- To stay in the Admin Console as an Agent or Supervisor at sign-in (for example, to review History or Reports), sign in using
https://ui.<domain>/sign-in?redirectURL=/apps/dashboard.
- Independent Sessions: Because
ui.<domain>anddesk.<domain>are separate origins, they maintain independent sessions after handoff. Signing out of one does not automatically sign out of the other.
Sign-In Security & Account Lockouts
- Enter your Email address and Password (email addresses containing
+tags are supported). - Any invalid credential attempt displays

- Disabled or Locked Accounts: If an administrator locks (
Locked) or disables (Enabledoff) your user account while you are signed in, your session is terminated on your next action and you are returned to the sign-in screen withYour session has expired. Sign in again.
