About granting additional permissions

Last Updated : Oct 05, 2012 |

The SDB provides you with the following ways to grant permissions to users.

Note:

In the context of this chapter, the term user does not necessarily refer to a person. It can be an application that logs into the TSAPI service with its own login and password.

  • Assign a worktop to a user. This is a typical method of assigning permissions to a user. By default a user assigned to a worktop has permission to access only the devices associated with that worktop for the following types of requests:

    • Call Origination and Termination

    • Device/Device monitoring requests

  • Administer access rights for a user. The following access rights settings provide permission to access specific devices for each of the following types of requests.

    • Call Origination/Termination and Device Status

    • Device Monitoring

    • Call On A Device Monitoring

    • Call Monitoring

    • Routing

    For a description of these access rights settings, see Access Rights options.

  • Enable the Extended Worktop Access check box on the TS Configuration page. This allows users to roam to other worktops. For example, when a user logs in to another user’s workstation, the TSAPI service checks the Security Database for a worktop with the same LAN address as the workstation where the user is attempting to log in. If a match is found, the user is given Call Origination and Termination permissions and Device/Device monitoring permissions for any of the devices associated with that worktop.
