How to limit the maximum number of SIP number and mobile application licenses available for root groups
- BAS-IP (Unlicensed)
It is possible to use a server for several small projects, e.g., for some separate areas with few devices. In this case, each root group stands for a single project. To avoid overuse of the licenses and virtual numbers assigned to each group, you can limit the number of available values in the Group or User creating/editing window.
To do this, you must have the Can edit the number of licenses for root group permission assigned to your profile. This permission allows viewing and managing the Licences section when creating or editing a root group. So, you can set limitations for all users of a group.
You set SIP numbers and mobile application limits when creating or editing a root group. To do it, complete the following steps:
In the root group creation or editing window, find the Licences section.
Tick the Enable restrictions field. Otherwise, you cannot change limit values and limitations do not work for the group.
Enter the number of Virtual number and Mobile application licenses available for users of this group.
If you need to limit the availability time of provided licenses, enable the License validity period box.
Provide the beginning (valid from) of the limitations activation and licenses expiration time (valid until).
After the time specified in the Valid until field expires, making SIP calls and using the mobile application is blocked. Once the license validity period is extended, all call and app functionality is renewed. Mobile application users are notified about it by a push notification.
When all configurations are done, save the group settings.
After setting these limitations, you can grant users personal licenses. For detailed info, see Applying Licenses to Users.
As a result, users added to this group cannot create a virtual number if their number exceeds the specified limits.
A count of used licenses is displayed below each restriction field.
