Introduction

ACL (Access Control List) is a number of permissions and limitations for PBX users and PBX administrators.

Via ACL for PBX users it is possible to forbid certain groups of users external calls to certain call classes, limit access to certain PBX services and UC features. The full list of ACL permissions: APPENDIX 2.

Via ACL for PBX administrators it is possible to limit access to certain WMS menus and forbid certain operations related to PBX management to groups of PBX admins. The full list of ACL admin permissions: APPENDIX 3.

Note: Normally, if you don't forbid any certain access via ACL, it means the access is allowed. For example, if you don't have any ACL restriction "Cannot" - "Intrusion", it means intrusion is allowed.

Exception: There are 3 ACLs that are not permitted by default: "Can " - "Modify presence", "Can" - "Delete calls" and "Can" - "See voicemail". At first, you have to set ACL permissions for using these services.

Admin and Default ACL groups and permissions

ACL groups can be managed and created in WMS -> Users -> Groups.

By default there are two ACL groups on PBX:

  • Admin (no limitations, assigned to “admin” user)
  • Default (see Default ACL settings; assigned to new users by default)

ACL groups can be assigned to users in WMS -> Users -> select user / users -> “Group”:


All PBX users with admin permissions can:

  • Edit permissions of ACL groups (click Edit permissions button to manage)

“admin” user in addition can:

  • Create and delete ACL groups
  • Set up inheritance
  • Manage admin permissions for PBX administrators (click Edit admin permissions button to manage)

Note: ACL groups are shared via WMS Network. Detailed information about WMS Network can be found here: WMS Network.


Inheritance

Set up Inheritance: Select an ACL group: “Inherits from” (select the group)
