Flexible PBX company structure and users management:

 

Each company PBX account is associated with a master account which role is management of the user accounts, virtual numbers and other configuration settings.


Master PBX account can define company’s division on multilevel branches and departments for example by geographical locations of the offices or by a departments structure like sales, support, management etc.


The master account is also responsible for creating and managing the accounts for the company personal. Each account can be granted different security level determining the access to certain functionality of the PBX.


The user accounts are associated with extensions. Every account can have multiple extensions. This feature is very useful in connection with the Answering rules module. For example a user having various extensions for different purposes (e.g. one extension for sales phone, another for corporate communication etc) can then define different actions for incoming calls to given extension.


Each user account is a SIP account allowing user to register to the system from different devices including:

  • SIP hardware phones

  • SIP software clients (our Vippie communicator or 3rd party clients)

  • SIP mobile clients (our Vippie Mobile softphones family)

In addition a user can log in to the web PBX interface in order to manage his account, use Contacts menu and other functions available from the web PBX.
