Appendix D: Authorization codes

Authorization codes are not shown by default. IP Office Manager must be modified in order to support

authorization codes. Each authorization code is associated with a particular user or user rights set. The

user or users associated with the user rights can then dial numbers which are set to trigger forced

authorization code entry. Once a code is entered, the short code settings of the user or user rights with

which the code is associated are used to complete the call. This allows authorized users to make otherwise

restricted calls from any extension without first having to log in to that extension and then log out after the

call.

How authorization codes work

• A user dials a number that matches a short code set to Force Authorization Code.

• The user is prompted to enter an authorization code.

• They dial their authorization code. If a matching entry is found in Authorization Codes entries, the

system checks the corresponding user or user rights (in that order). Note that the user or user rights

checked does not necessarily need to be connected with the user dialing or the user whose extension

is being used to make the call.

- The dial string is checked against the short codes with the matching user or user rights.

- If it matches a dial short code or no short code, the call is allowed. Otherwise, it is blocked. Note

that the short code is not processed, it is just checked for a match.

- If multi-tier authorization codes are required, there must be blocking (busy) short codes (or a

wild card '?' )

Example

A restaurant has a number of phones in publicly accessible areas and wants to control what calls can be

made from these phones. They want these phones to allow anyone to make local calls, restrict restaurant

staff to local and cell phone numbers (044...), and allow the manager to also be able to call long distance

numbers (01...). The following table shows how this is configured.

Authorization Codes

In the Main (50) ARS table, the following short codes

are added:

• 044XXXXXXXXXX / 044N / Dial / Force Auth Code

• 01XXXXXXXXXX / 01N / Dial / Force Auth Code

The following two authorization codes are

configured:

• 2008 is associated with a set of User

Rights called Cell.
