Introduction

The call logger is extremely easy to protect and offers plenty of scope for keeping unauthorised users from accessing your valuable call data.

<p>Briefly, there are two methods of protection: console based (to protect the actual application) and network-based (to allow only particular information to reach certain clients).</p>

<p>Both methods require the main administrator to setup users and passwords using a simply entry screen as shown below:</p>

<p>This screen is accessible from the Users & Passwords... menu item, located on the View menu.</p>

<p>Add a user by clicking the Add User button, then entering the details into the new window that appears...</p>

<p>Using this simple entry screen, you can set each of the two methods of protection by following the procedures here:</p>

<h4>Console Locking</h4>

<p>Set up a user with a username console (in lower case), choose a password, then select (Console Access) from the Extension Group drop-down list.  Click on the Add button, and the user will appear in the list.  Only one user (named console) can be setup for console access.</p>

<h4>Web Username restrictions</h4>

<p>When running reports, the extension groups that are accessible can be
forcibly restricted to a single group.  This is most often used in an
organisation where a department manager is given access only to
his/her own information, and no-one else's.</p>

<p>Additionally, any number of users may be setup who may access all extension groups' data.</p>

<p>To setup a user who may only view a single group of extensions, simply click on the Add User button on the Users & Passwords screen (as described above).  In the Add User box that appears, enter a username and a password of your choice, but from the Extension Group drop-down list, choose the extension group to whom this user is granted access.</p>

<p>To add a user who may access all extensions, leave the Extension
Group drop-down list empty (the default), or select the blank item at the
top of the list.</p>

<p>A user who has access to all extension information will be shown in the
User List with a yellow smiley-face icon (), as opposed to a
restricted user, a double human head & shoulder symbol ().</p>
