CHAPTER 21
Group Management
This chapter shows you how to manage authority groups and outbound line groups on the
X6004.
21.1 Group Management Overview
Group management allows you to control the types of calls made via the X6004. You can
manage the types of calls extensions within authority groups can make, as well as the types of
calls that callers from outside your organization can complete via the X6004. You grant
calling rights by creating associations or links between the various logical entities configured
on the X6004.
The following sections give an overview of granting calling rights to authority groups (see
Section 21.1.1 on page 191), followed by granting calling rights to outbound line groups (see
Section 21.1.2 on page 193).
21.1.1 Managing Authority Groups
You control extensions within an authority group by associating (linking) authority groups
with:
Authority Groups - When you create an authority group it is by default linked to all other
authority groups created on the X6004 and all the other authority groups are also linked to
it. This means that any extension created on the X6004 can call any other extension
created on the X6004 regardless if they are part of the same authority group. You can,
however, stop extensions within one authority group from calling extensions in another
authority group. An example is shown below. You have an organization with three
authority groups (AG1-AG3). You can remove the link from one authority group (for
example AG3) to another authority group (for example AG2) to stop extensions in AG3
from calling AG2.
