Introduction

Within Clients > Users, you can see a list of all the users within each Client with access to Connect. You can see their First Name, Last Name, Associated Extension, Email, Role and whether they have been invited to Connect yet. 

The User Manager Screen

Here you can see details of the client users. Associated Extension shows the extension at which the client user can be reached. Role indicates access that particular users have to Connect and can be:

  • Admin - Can see and manage users within the client, as well as add new users. Admins can edit themselves and other Users, however they cannot edit or delete other Admins. They can also see and configure telephone and Wi-Fi services.

  • User - these users can only see details related to themselves, such as their own phone numbers and Wi-Fi (if applicable).

See the Client Knowledge Base for more detail about Client User Roles.

You can select an associated extension for a client directly from the User Manager page.

If you associate a user with a telephone extension then the following will happen:

  • Their name will populate against the phone number in telephony manager.
