Set up Extension Visibility

By default, all the users can view all departments or the default extension group on Linkus clients, depending on whether you have enabled the organization management feature. To restrict users from viewing specific extensions, departments, or extension groups, you can set up extension visibility as the instructions provided in this topic.

Procedure

  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Extension and Trunk > Client Permission > Extension Visibility.

    The default extension visibility rule is displayed.

  2. Click Add rule to create an extension visibility rule.
  3. Set up the rule:

    1. Select desired values from the drop-down lists.
      • Extension/Extension Group/Organization: Click to select desired extensions, extension groups, or departments, for which you want to grant or restrict the viewing permission.
      • Permission Type: Select an option from the drop-down list to define the permission.
        • Allow view: Allow to view the extensions, extension groups, or departments, which are selected in the Objects.
        • Disallow view: Disallow to view the extensions, extension groups, or departments, which are selected in the Objects.
      • Objects: Click to select desired extensions, extension groups, or departments, which are allowed or disallowed to be viewed.
      Note: By default, when you select a department, its associated sub-departments are selected. Be careful when selecting departments.
    2. Click Save.
  4. Optional: To adjust the rules order, click , , , or .
    Note: The priority of extension visibility rules is from the top down. When encountering permission conflicts, the permission is subject to the visibility rule with the higher priority.

Result

On Linkus clients, users can view the extensions, extension groups, or departments that are visible to them.
Note: Users can NOT make calls to the extensions that they can not view.
