What is a
...
user group?
User groups are containers of users and they often A user group is a container of individual users, and together they mimic the organisational structure of your company, allowing senior management to report on calls by department. Access to the Directory can be restricted to one specific user group, so that managers can report only on their own department; for information on how to apply these restrictions, refer to the Web users sectionenabling you to run reports on, and restrict access to, parts of the TIM Plus directory.

The Discovered
...
Users folderWhen you first
configure the system, a user group - called Discovered Users - is created by default in the Directory. The function of the A special user group, users folder is to pick up newly discovered extensions and it should not be renamed or deleted from the system. Once you add your own groups in the Directory, extensions can be moved across from the Discovered Users folder to the newly created ones; for information on how to move users from one group to another, check the Moving a user between two groups section, is automatically created in TIM Plus to harvest hitherto-unknown user information from the call data received from your telephone system. Over time, when all possible users have been collected by the Discovered Users folder, you can create your own user groups based on the structure of your organisation, and move users into these new groups.
