Configuring the Multi-Company Variant
116
Only when this package has been activated are the fields required to configure the 
multi-company variant available in the other menus of the Web console, for 
example in the User Manager: User groups menu or in the   Telephony: Trunks 
menu.
12.1.2 Configuring and Managing Companies
Up to five companies can be configured in the Aastra 800. By default, one 
company with the name “Company 1” is predefined. All configuration settings, e.g. 
in the user groups or in the bundle configuration, apply to this predefined default 
company if not other company has been selected. 
Companies are set up and managed in the Telephony: Extended: Companies 
menu:
A new company is created in this menu using the command New. Each 
company can be given a name up to 20 characters long. This name is then dis-
played in all configuration dialog boxes in which company-specific settings can 
be defined.
In this menu a company can be deleted again using the command Delete. If a 
company is deleted which is still used at other places (in the user groups, for 
example), the respective configuration is changed to the default company.
The name of the default company can be changed, but the default company 
itself cannot be deleted.
12.1.3 Assigning Users
For each user you must define the company to which they belong. This 
assignment determines, for example, which company telephone book the user 
has access to and which company-specific configuration data apply to them.
As the Aastra 800 manages users in groups, the assignment “user > company” is 
also established this way. The company to which each user group belongs must be 
defined for each group. A user group can only belong to one company, i.e. not to 
several. However, a company can have several user groups. It is therefore possible, 
in the same way as in the entire system, to allocate a range of authorisation rights 
for the use and configuration of features for each company.
