System sounds can be managed by all the users registered in the system, regardless of their level. Service providers and organizations can also define shared sounds, but these can only be seen by the account they own. NonNon-system or non-shared sounds can only be used by the user that created them.
System sound files can be overwritten by replacing their content with a different sound. Sound files can be deleted or changed only by the user who added them. There There are two types of sounds in VoipNow.
