Creating and editing a user
The full user form, field by field: who they are, how they're billed, what they're allowed to spend, and where their calls are routed.
Open Customers > Users > New user to create one, or click a username (or its pencil icon) in the list to edit an existing one. Both use the same form — editing only locks the Balance field (more on that in Balance top-ups and payments) and, unless you're an Admin, the Type field.
Master data
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
Username / Password | The account's login. On the edit form, Password is labelled "empty = unchanged" — leave it blank to keep the current one. |
Type | The account role — see Account types (roles). |
First Name / Last Name | The account holder's name, shown throughout the interface and on invoices. |
Language | The interface language this account sees; "System default" follows the system setting. |
Time Zone | Used only for the time periods in this user's devices' call flow (voicemail before the call, and on no answer/busy/failure). Invoices and call lists are not affected. |
Postpaid (otherwise prepaid) | Unchecked (the default) means prepaid — the account needs balance to call out. Checked means postpaid — see Billing: prepaid vs. postpaid, balance and credit limit below. |
Blocked | Suspends the account — see Blocking below. |
Billing: prepaid vs. postpaid, balance and credit limit
These live in the Finance section of the form.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
Balance | The account's balance. Editable only when creating a user — once the account exists, the balance is only changed through the balance actions (see Balance top-ups and payments), never by editing this field directly. |
Balance min / Balance max | Guard rails some balance actions respect. |
Credit | How far a postpaid account may go negative before it's stopped — "Unlimited only takes effect for postpaid". Tick Unlimited for no cap. |
Currency | The currency the balance, credit and rates are shown in for this account. |
A prepaid user (the default) simply needs a positive balance to place calls — once it runs out, outbound calling stops. A postpaid user can keep calling into negative balance up to the Credit limit (or without limit, if Unlimited is ticked); Minimal charge also only applies once Postpaid is checked.
A prepaid user with no balance cannot make outbound calls. If a new customer can't call out, this is the first thing to check.
Call limits
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
Daily credit limit | A per-day spending cap, separate from the overall Credit limit above. Tick Unlimited (the default for a new user) to remove it, or untick it and set a number. |
Max. call rate | A ceiling on the per-minute rate this account can be charged, regardless of what a tariff would otherwise charge. |
Blocking
The Blocked checkbox on the form suspends the account immediately — a blocked user shows a red Blocked badge on their detail page and list row instead of the green Active one, and cannot place calls. The same toggle is also available as the warning-triangle quick action directly from the users list, without opening the full form.
Routing: tariff and LCR
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
Tariff | The sell tariff that prices this user's calls. |
LCR | The routing rule used for this user's outbound calls. |
PBX Pool | User-type accounts only: which PBX pool new devices for this user join by default. |
Quickforwards Rule | Admin and Reseller accounts only: the quickforward rule template applied to this user's devices. |
A few more fields round out the form: Generate invoices (whether the billing run produces invoices for this account), a blacklist/whitelist pair for source and destination number pools (edit mode only), and a Notification & contact section (warning e-mail balance/threshold, e-mail, city, phone, comment).
The user's detail page and tabs
After saving, the account opens on its detail page: the username, its Type and postpaid/prepaid badges, and an Active or Blocked status badge across the top, followed by a tab bar and the same form pre-filled.
| Tab | Shows |
|---|---|
Allgemein | The default tab — this is the general master-data/finance/routing form above. (The label itself is shown in German even on an English system — not a translation you need to change anything for, just how it currently reads.) |
Device groups | User-type accounts only: the device groups this customer's devices belong to. |
Custom-Rates | Per-destination rate overrides for this one customer, on top of their assigned tariff — pick a destination group and click Add custom rate. |
Carriers | Only shown once PBX is enabled for the account. |
The Device groups tab is its own small screen — a "New group" form plus a table of this user's groups (every user starts with one, named primary), each row renamable and showing how many devices currently belong to it:
Device groups matter together with User groups (a different, confusingly similar name — that page is about end-customer permissions, not device organisation) and with per-group call/device rules covered in the devices section.
Check
Open the new user and confirm Tariff and LCR show what you assigned, and — for a prepaid user — that Balance is above zero before you hand it to anyone.
