| Localtab |

| If selected, the service provider will be able to manage their own provisioning templates and SIP devices (including adding new equipment) as well as those of their child accounts, regardless of the type of permission the accounts have. In short, the service provider will be allowed to handle the provisioning preferences of their child accounts even if their Allow to provision devices option is set to View or None. If enabled, this permission allows the service provider to assign up to Modify rights to their child accounts. |

| If selected, the service provider will be able to manage their own provisioning templates as well as those of their child accounts. At the same time, the service provider will be able to add new SIP devices to the database for their account as well as for the organizations with the Allow to provision devices option set to Modify. As a result, the service provider will not be allowed to assign equipment to child accounts with their permission set to View or None. If an organization account has the permission set to View or if both the organization and all their users have the permission set to None, the service provider will be able to see all the devices provisioned for that account; however, the Add new device function will be disabled. The service provider will also be able to provision devices for their users with an Allow to provision devices permission set to Modify; however, they will not be able to clear assignments or remove the devices from the list. This means that a user assigned like this can only modify their device settings, but cannot turn off provisioning. In this case, only the system administrator or a parent account with higher permissions can unassign the user. If enabled, this permission allows the service provider to assign up to View rights to their child accounts. |

| If enabled, the service provider will not be able to add new SIP devices unless one of their organizations/users has the Allow to provision devices option set to Modify. At the same time, the service provider will not be able to add new provisioning templates for their account, only for their organizations. If an organization account has the permission set to View or if both the organization and all its users have this permission set to None, the service provider will be able to see all the devices provisioned for that account; however, the Add new device function will be disabled. The service provider will be able to provision devices for their users with the Allow to provision devices permission set to Modify; they will not be able to clear assignments or remove the devices from the list. This also means that a user assigned like this can only modify their device settings, but cannot turn off provisioning. In this case, only the system administrator or a parent account with higher permissions can un-assign the user. If enabled, this permission allows the service provider to assign any type of provisioning rights to their child account. Please note that, the Allow to provision devices option will not be available when adding new organizations or users. |

- The Organization has the Modify permission.
When the service provider logs in, it can change his organization's Allow to provision devices permission from Modify to, for example, View. After saving the modification, he will not be able to revert it to Modify as this permission will be removed from the list:

- Account is disabled: The account cannot access any system functions.

- Account can be called and can call internally: The account can dial any internal number and all incoming calls are accepted. When selected, this rule will be applied to all its child accounts.
- Account can only be called: The account cannot dial out, but all incoming calls are accepted. When selected, this rule will be applied to all its child accounts.
- Account cannot make or receive calls: The account cannot dial any numbers or receive any calls. When selected, this rule will be applied to all its child accounts.
If you select any of the options displayed in the Global and Phone Account Status pop-up, the restrictions apply to all the child accounts of the current account. If a parent account has set a restriction for a child account, the latter cannot remove that restriction for any of the accounts under it, but it can set higher restrictions.
If the administrator has set the Account can be called and can call internally restriction for a particular service provider, the latter cannot provide their customers with full access to the phone service. More to this, the service provider can enable the Account can only be called option for any or all of their customers.
