Configure Provisioning Authority
You can set up provisioning authority so that users can access their personalized phone settings from other
phones. For example, people who work different shifts or who work at different desks during the week can
share an extension, yet have their own personalized settings.
The
Sign in
softkey appears on the phone when you enable provisioning authority on the phone. Users enter
their usernames and passwords to access their personal phone settings. Users can also ignore the sign-in and
use the phone as a guest. After users sign in, they have access to their personal directory numbers on the
phone. When the user signs out, the phone reverts to a basic profile with limited features.
Before you begin
Access the phone administration web page. See
