Support Agents from various Support Groups can manage and respond to multiple inbound requests from end-users who want to chat with a Support Agent in case the bot is unable to resolve their request. End-user can use the ‘Transfer to Agent’ system skill configured for your Tenant to request to talk to a Support Agent from a Support team.
Agent Chat Console can be accessed by users who are part of the Default Support Group, Default Administrator, and Default Developer Groups
