|                |                                                  |
+================+==================================================+
|                | A user can log in to the Self-service GUI if a   |
|                | 'System User' entry exists for the user. A       |
|                | 'System User' entry is created automatically     |
|                | when a user is added as a subscriber.            |
|                |                                                  |
|                | You can grant a user access to Self-service by   |
| User access    | creating a user with a `selfservice` role        |
|                | directly in the system user interface. A user    |
|                | with this role is not able to view devices or    |
|                | any services associated with the devices.        |
|                | Manually added users also cannot view personal   |
|                | information such as first name, last name,       |
|                | address, department, etc.                        |
|                |                                                  |
|                | You can also provide an administrator with user  |
|                | access to the Self-service GUI by assigning an   |
|                | Authorized Admin Hierarchy instance to the admin |
|                | that also includes an administrator role.        |
+----------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| User           | Self-service authentication is controlled by the |
| Authentication | administration interface using the same three    |
|                | authentication methods: **Automatic**, **LDAP**, |
|                | and **SSO**.                                     |
+----------------+--------------------------------------------------+
|                | The Self-service GUI interface can be branded by |
|                | configuring Cascading Style Sheets and images    |
|                | and logos. It uses the same theme upload and     |
|                | download interface used for the administrator    |
| GUI Themes and | GUI. The theme itself however, is different      |
| Branding       | between the administrator and Self-service       |
|                | interface (based on the user role). The log in   |
|                | page theme is also loaded from the URL:          |
|                |                                                  |
|                | https://<host>/selfservice/#/login?theme=mytheme |
+----------------+--------------------------------------------------+
|                | You can automatically assign a remote            |
|                | destination profile (RDP) to a user so that they |
|                | can manage their own personal phones and         |
|                | simultaneous ring settings. Select the **User    |
|                | can enable Personal Phone Management (add Remote |
|                | Destination Profile)** checkbox on the           |
|                | **Personal Phones** tab of **Self-service        |
| Personal       | Feature Display Policy**.                        |
| Phones (Remote |                                                  |
| Destinations)  | If no RDP is associated to the user, the         |
|                | Personal Phones management interface in          |
|                | Self-service is hidden. Multiple RDPs for each   |
|                | user are not supported. The Personal Phones      |
|                | management interface in Self-service is also     |
|                | hidden if a user has more than one RDP           |
|                | associated.                                      |
