1.1. Name

The name of the User is entered here.

1.2. Extensions

The extension number of the User of the Webitel system must be unique for each User. If you do not set the number, then such a User will not be able to register a SIP phone and will not be able to make a call.

1.3. Login

Required field. The User will use the value of this field to log in. The login must be unique for each User. When creating a login, you can use Latin letters, numbers, dashes (-), underscores (_), and dots (.). The @ sign and space in the login are not allowed.

1.4. Email address

The User's email address is entered here. This email is used to connect with OAuth2 authentication.

1.5. Password

The field for creating a password.

When you hover over the icon  next to Password, help information is displayed.

You can create a password by yourself or use a password generator (). The generated or entered password can be copied using the copy button -  (which appears in the Password field after entering data).

Attention!

The password must be saved or remembered because it will not be available for viewing after creating the User.

 

Additionally, the output of information under the Password field is customised.
If password_regular_expression and password_validation_text parameters are set in the configuration, then when entering a value in the Password field that does not fall under the specified regular expression (see password_regular_expression), the text specified in the password_validation_text parameter value will be displayed.
If the password_validation_text parameter is not specified, the default error will be displayed.

1.6. Contact

This field is used to link the User with the Contact.

One User can be linked to only one Contact.

For a User who does not have a CUSTOMER_SERVICE licence, the Contact field is disabled.

1.7. Two-factor authentication

It is displayed if two-factor authentication is enabled for Users with the Change User Password permission.

The enable_2FA parameter must be set to true on the Configuration page to enable two-factor authentication.

It is presented as a QR code and Download and Regenerate buttons.

The QR code is scanned using an authenticator app.

The applications that are recommended for scanning are:

  • Google Authentificator;

  • Microsoft Authentificator.

This User enters the received code when logging into the system — Step 3.

Download button — downloads the image of the QR code.

Regenerate button — resensitises the QR code, and the User needs to enter a new code to log in (scan a new QR code). The Warning modal window opens (Fig.2) after you click the Regenerate button.
