Roles

Use Roles to manage people roles for contacts at your accounts (for example Decision Maker, Buyer, or Influencer). These roles describe a person’s job relationship to an account. They are not CallProof login permissions for reps.

From Roles you can also:

  • Add a new role
  • Edit a role name
  • Delete a role

How to open Roles

Option A — From the main menu

  1. Sign in to CallProof as a manager.
  2. In the left sidebar menu, open the menu item for Roles (label may vary by company setup).
  3. The Roles list opens.
    • This menu item usually appears when your company uses the People / Contacts people features.

Option B — Open Roles directly

  1. Open your web browser.
  2. Go to your CallProof website and add /role/ at the end of the address (for example: https://appv2.callproof.com/role/).
  3. Press Enter.
  4. If you are a manager, the Roles list appears.
  5. If you are not a manager, CallProof blocks access and sends you away from this setup page.

Option C — From Quick Links

  1. On the Roles page, click Quick Links.
  2. Choose a related item such as Company Directory, Import Reps, Export Reps, or Invite Reps when you need related user work.

  • Only managers can open Roles, add roles, edit roles, and delete roles.
  • Non-managers cannot use this setup screen.

Where Roles are used

After managers create roles, your team uses them on account people records:

  1. Open an Account / Contact.
  2. Add or edit a person (contact personnel) linked to that account.
  3. Choose a Role from the list.
  4. Save the person.
  5. The role can appear in people lists, exports, opportunity PDFs, and related account views.

Tips and important notes

  • Roles here are for people at accounts, not for rep login access (manager vs rep).
  • Keep role names clear and consistent across your company.
  • Duplicate role names are not allowed when creating a new role.
  • Only managers manage this list.
  • If Roles is missing from the menu, ask an administrator to check People / menu settings and your manager status.
  • Quick Links on this page focus on Company Directory and rep tools.

Need help?

  • Cannot open Roles: confirm you are a manager
  • Role missing when adding a person on an account: ask a manager to create it here first
  • Name already exists: choose another name
