User rights

There are individual authorizations between system users. A user can acquire authorizations for another user in various ways. These authorizations contain both rights to see information about another user and rights to control their phones or to set their presence status.

A user can acquire authorizations for another user in the following ways:

  • Global rights. If an authorization is granted in the global rights it applies for all system users. These rights are configured exclusively by the administrator.
  • Group rights. If an authorization is granted for global rights, it applies for all system users. These rights are configured exclusively by the administrator.
  • User rights. Every user can grant individual rights to themselves to other users. These rights can also be viewed and configured by the administrator.
Rights always apply additively. If the user has acquired a certain right via superior rules this cannot be taken away in subordinate rules.

The following authorizations are available:
