## Effects of Status

When a user is **online**, their avatar badge is green. If they're a live agent, they will be eligible for [conversation assignments](https://documentation.proto.cx/docs/settings/teamspaces/chat-assignment) coming in.

When a user is **away**, their avatar badge is orange and they are omitted from receiving new chats.
