Allow disabling "Accept Queue Calls" under roles for extensions assigned to queues

It would be extremely useful to be able to disable an associate from removing themselves from taking queue calls. As you can imagine, if an employee chooses they no longer want to take calls but their supervisor did not approve it. They could stop taking calls without the supervisor ever knowing (Not good for anyone).

This also requires additional reporting. We also have an extra step of pulling a report to see which associates took themselves off of queue calls every day (Not efficient).

I believe it would be helpful to be able to exclude that feature through roles whether the extension is assigned to a queue or not.

    What are you waiting for to get this done? Many of your users should reconsider keeping RC as their phone system.

    We have remote workers that are slacking off and not accepting calls by toggling off 'accept queue calls', we urgently need this feature.

    I agree that as admins we ought to be able to disable this feature from end-users. We get complaints about calls not "going through", only to see that it's because users have disabled themselves.

    Maybe a good ides would be for the disabling only to be done when on Vacation Mode, or to ingegrate a timer to automatically reset to available after x amount of hrs.


    Having said this, I did find a work-around. Not ideal, time consuming and not permanent...but may help an immediate need:

    Delete the user from the call queue. If they belong to more than one, remove from all call queues. Then, add the user back to the queue. When they are added, they are automatically available.

    Same with us. This is a headache for mgmt. We didnt have to keep reminding the staff NOT to turn off "Accept queue calls". This should be an option an admin can turn off.

    This is a major problem for our company. We need to be able to disable users from toggling this setting. It creates confusion on there part and potential missed customer calls overall negatively impacting the business.

    Users tend to confuse this setting with the silence incoming calls on their mobile phones. Being able to take this setting away from them would help with that confusion.

    Please , we need this Asap. It's not very convenient to have people getting out of the queue whenever they feel like. I don't know how developers thought this was a good Idea.

    Please get this implemented.. Agents should have no option to remove themselves in the queue. Unless on Break. Maybe put a "Break" option or something.. "

    Cab we get this done? It is, in my opinion, a must. People jumping off the queue without approval is one thing but trying to track down the who and when is also a complete nightmare.

    Is there an update on this? The lack of visibility and reporting on this within RC is very frustrating.
