What is a user?

Users represent the people in your organisation who make use of devices such as telephone extensions, fax machines, etc. When you first configure TIM Enterprise, your users are automatically harvested from the data received from the phone system into a folder named Discovered Users. The properties of each user can be edited afterwards, and users can also be subsequently organised into new user groups, if preferred.

Call barring

Bar user from making callsPrevents the user making calls. i.e. set a block on the PBX to prevent outbound calls from this user.
Partically Bar callsBar calls to specific numbers or calls that exceed a specific pre-allocted amount.
