Multiple clients

Since 3.29v you can setup Live Helper Chat in a such way so it could support multiple clients at once. Altough the best way to support multiple clients is just use automated hosting extension.

info

I assume you are running at-least 3.29v default setup.

Creating departments​

First we have to create two departments. Client A and Client B. We do not change anything there.

Creating users groups​

We create two users groups

System configuration -> Users -> List of groups

We create group Client A and then Client B. This is required only if you are planning to have more than one operator per company. If it will be only one operator per company, you can skip this step and just remove permissions to see users from same group.

After that to each group we assign Operators role.

​

Creating users​

We create user clienta and choose his group as Client A

​

We assign him Client A department.

​

We do same steps with clientb user.

Adjusting operators role permissions​

Removing permissions​

Remove permission to see assigned departments so operator won't see other clients departments.

'lhuser', 'see_assigned_departments'

By default operators can see all online visitors we want to remove this permission. We do this by editing Operators role and removing.

'lhchat', 'sees_all_online_visitors'

By default operator sees all operators from group he belongs to. Now is possible to remove this permission by deleting. After you do that operator will see only himself in operators list and not a members of the group he belongs to.

'lhuser', 'see_all_group_users'

If you do not want operator to be able to see logged operators from his department remove this permission.

'lhuser', 'userlistonline'

If you do not want to allow an operator to see in general online visitors remove this permission.

'lhchat','use_onlineusers'

Remove permission for other modules

'lhquestionary', 'manage_questionary'
'lhfaq','manage_faq'
'lhchatbox', 'manage_chatbox'
'lhbrowseoffer', 'manage_bo'
