Manual Opt-In
With the Manual Opt-In feature added to the Roles and Permissions settings it allows for the account admin to adjust permissions and allows users to manually opt-in contacts to messaging. By default, this permission is enabled for all roles except for Observer, where it is disabled.
If the Manual Opt-In permission is turned OFF for a specific role, users in that role will be unable to manually opt-in contacts.
All roles retain the ability to perform manual opt-outs regardless of the Manual Opt-In permission status.
This feature ensures greater flexibility and control over managing contact opt-in preferences across different roles.
