Self Service: Overview
----------------------

Using the VOSS Automate Self Service interface, users can configure their own phone
settings, including voicemail, call forwarding, availability, and speed dials.

To access the Self Service interface, a user must be assigned a SelfService role
in VOSS Automate. A user may get a SelfService role in one of the following ways:

* Automatically when synced from LDAP, if the LDAP Sync has the User Role
  configured to a SelfService role.
* By default when synced from Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
* Manually assigned by an administrator using **User Management > Users**.

To access the Self Service interface, the user enters

::

   https://<Hostname>/selfservice/#/login?theme=[your_theme]

in the browser URL field.

.. note::

   Access to the Self Service interface and the VOSS Automate Admin Portal are
   mutually exclusive.
   Therefore, if an administrator needs access to the Self Service interface,
   the administrator needs a second user configured in VOSS Automate with a SelfService
   role assigned to it.

   If the theme value is set as ``login?theme=cisco_selfservice`` then the theme
   will revert to the Self-service theme that has been set as the default.
