    • First and Last name - actual first and last name.
    • Email - enter email for the user.
    • User Privilege Level - check "Administrator" if you want the user to have access to edit their own PBX settings. Otherwise, leave as "User".
    • Email Notification - if checked, the caller receives voicemails in .mp3 files to their email address.

    In-House Calls

    • Caller ID Name - enter the user name
    • Caller ID Number - enter the extension number

    Outbound Calls

    • Caller ID number - represents how caller ID is displayed for external calls.
