Global permissions in UCServer
November 2023
Permission levels
With permission levels, you can administratively set the minimum presence and contact information to be transferred to users within the UCServer.
In addition, you can use the level to specify the minimum permissions that users receive on other users' lines.
Users can extend the globally assigned permission level, but cannot restrict a globally assigned permission.
There are 4 predefined levels for permissions
- Public
- Business
- Team member
- Personal
The permission levels only affect the contact data exchanged via presence information.
The permission level does not affect the contact search. Contact data, such as the mobile phone number, is still visible via a contact search, regardless of the permission levels.
These permissions only take effect within the UCServer service responsible for the user.
Federation contacts or contacts of other UCServer services do not see this data! The federation permissions are set separately under "Federation – Domain Permission".
