A user does not need a unique SMS Number assigned to send messages. By default all users are able to send SMS using the ReadyOp dashboard. This is only required for the user to receive responses through the ReadyOp system.
An SMS Number is assigned on a per-user basis, and does not correlate to Contacts (recipients of the messages). This means that only the user needs to have an SMS number assigned to them, not each individual contact this user may be contacting.

Agencies
In ReadyOp an agency is used to segregate Contacts, Tabs, Objects, Roles, Teams, News, History, etc, within a given ReadyOp domain into separate Sites.

It is possible to have “User A” who has access to agencies 1 & 3 as a “Standard User”, and access to agency 2 as an “Administrator”. While “User B” only has access to Agency 2 as an Administrator. To create new agencies, or modify existing agencies within your ReadyOp domain, please contact ReadyOp customer support for more information.
Devices
There are several different methods for accessing parts of the ReadyOp platform. While the primary method would be a standard laptop or desktop computer, users also have the ability to access the system using other devices such as Android phones and tablets, as well as iPhones and iPads. Although removing the ability to connect via a standard laptop or desktop computer is not possible, this section provides the ability to permit or remove access to the ReadyOp system on a per device, per user basis.

Groups
In ReadyOp groups provide a way of assigning permissions to a subset of users, or even a single user. Each ReadyOp installation comes with the following default groups; Super Administrator, Agency Administrator, Administrator, and Standard User. These 4 default groups are available in every agency and cannot be modified or deleted. Every user within the ReadyOp platform must be assigned to a single user group. Outside of the 4 default groups, new groups can be created with a specified set of permissions, enabling an administrator to setup fine grained access control lists. Groups are assigned a set of permissions, as well as which tabs the users in that group will be able to access, and groups are linked to agencies in which they are relevant.
Creating a Group
Users who have been granted permission to create groups will be allowed to create new groups for agencies and users in which they have access. It is not possible for an administrator to create or manage a group in an agency they do not have access in themselves.

When selecting each agency, you’ll be prompted with a “Select Tabs” dialog allowing you to specify which tabs inside that particular agency the user will have access to.
This allows you to further restrict access by providing a subset of users inside this group access only to specified tabs or sections of information.
Tabs that do not have a marked checkbox will not be visible for users in the group.
When creating a new user and assigning them to an agency, only groups assigned to that agency will be available.
i.e. Creating a group and selecting only agencies 54 and 160, would not allow you to assign it to a user in any other agencies.
In the “Permissions” tab, select (using the available checkboxes) which permissions users assigned to this group will be given.
It is not possible to assign permissions to a group if your user profile does not have that permission. i.e. If you are a member of the “Agency Administrator” group, you do not have permission to “Create Agencies”; therefore, you wouldn’t be able to give someone else permission to do so.
When you are finished configuring your new group press “Create” to save the new group.

The ReadyOp REST API allows developers to query and manage data about your ReadyOp agencies such as, contacts, users, etc. The ReadyOp API is based on basic REST principles making it very easy to develop, and test applications. To make things even easier, you can even use your browser to access the URL’s and use almost any HTTP client in any programming language to create your application with the API.
All URLs referenced in the documentation have the following base in which you should replace [sitename] with your ReadyOp site name: https://[Site Name].readyop.com/api/2013-12-01/
The ReadyOp REST API is only accessible over HTTPS. For maximum security, unencrypted HTTP is not supported.
About REST (REpresentational State Transfer)
We designed the ReadyOp API based on the basic principles of REST. From Wikipedia:
REST’s proponents argue that the Web’s scalability and growth are a direct result of a few key design principles:
Application state and functionality are divided into resources
Every resource is uniquely addressable using a universal syntax for use in hypermedia links
All resources share a uniform interface for the transfer of state between client and resource, consisting of
A constrained set of well-defined operations
A constrained set of content types, optionally supporting code on demand
A protocol which is:
Client-server
Stateless
Cacheable
Layered
REST’s client/server separation of concerns simplifies component implementation, reduces the complexity of connector semantics, improves the effectiveness of performance tuning, and increases the scalability of pure server components. Layered system constraints allow intermediaries-proxies, gateways, and firewalls-to be introduced at various points in the communication without changing the interfaces between components, thus allowing them to assist in communication translation or improve performance via large-scale, shared caching.
REST enables intermediate processing by constraining messages to be self-descriptive: interaction is stateless between requests, standard methods and media types are used to indicate semantics and exchange information, and responses explicitly indicate cacheability.
