Overview

Access profiles determine which model types a user can view or manage. They are assigned to users through the Access Profiles page.

Access profiles control user permissions in the system. They define:

• Which model types a user can access

• What operations they can perform

• Whether permissions apply broadly (using wildcards) or specifically to certain models

Default access profiles

Default profiles follow a hierarchical permission structure:

Provider -> Reseller -> Customer -> Site

• Higher levels have more permissions.

• Customer profiles, for example, include fewer permissions than Provider-level profiles.

By default, most system-provided access profiles (except Operator profiles) allow:

• Read and Export rights on all multi vendor subscriber quick actions and service card “view” actions

  Examples:

  • view/DeleteCucmHuntGroupAllMembers (Quick Action)

  • view/AddExtensionMobility (service card action)

Cloned access profiles

When you clone an access profile:

• It inherits equal or fewer permissions than the profile of the admin performing the clone.

• During system upgrades:

  • Default access profiles are automatically updated.

  • Cloned profiles are not updated. You must update them manually or re-clone from the latest default profile.

Managing access profiles

Admins above Provider level can create, edit, and delete access profiles.

View access profiles

The Access Profiles list view page lists all existing profiles. From here you can view, add, update, or delete access profiles.
