Aastra Telecom 800 - Manual (Page 118)

Multi-Company Variant Configuring the Multi-Company Variant
116
Only when this package has been activated are the fields required to configure the
multi-company variant available in the other menus of the Web console, for
example in the User Manager: User groups menu or in the Telephony: Trunks
menu.
12.1.2 Configuring and Managing Companies
Up to five companies can be configured in the Aastra 800. By default, one
company with the name “Company 1” is predefined. All configuration settings, e.g.
in the user groups or in the bundle configuration, apply to this predefined default
company if not other company has been selected.
Companies are set up and managed in the Telephony: Extended: Companies
menu:
■ A new company is created in this menu using the command New. Each
company can be given a name up to 20 characters long. This name is then dis-
played in all configuration dialog boxes in which company-specific settings can
be defined.
■ In this menu a company can be deleted again using the command Delete. If a
company is deleted which is still used at other places (in the user groups, for
example), the respective configuration is changed to the default company.
■ The name of the default company can be changed, but the default company
itself cannot be deleted.
12.1.3 Assigning Users
For each user you must define the company to which they belong. This
assignment determines, for example, which company telephone book the user
has access to and which company-specific configuration data apply to them.
As the Aastra 800 manages users in groups, the assignment “user > company” is
also established this way. The company to which each user group belongs must be
defined for each group. A user group can only belong to one company, i.e. not to
several. However, a company can have several user groups. It is therefore possible,
in the same way as in the entire system, to allocate a range of authorisation rights
for the use and configuration of features for each company.
