Allowing and Blocking Calls {{New}}

Introduction

This document guidance on the multiple ways to block calls in the PressONE UC Platform

Requirements

Simple User and higher scopes may block calls.

Simple Users and Basic Users may only block their OWN calls. Office Managers and Higher are able to block calls domain wide.

Domain-Wide Call Blocking

This sections provides guidance on blocking calls for an entire domain/company.

Adding more than 500 blocked numbers will still be enforced in call processing; however, the Portal will not properly populate the blocked number list. For full functionality, we suggest only blocking a maximum of 500 numbers.
