Routing outgoing calls

190Overriding call restrictions

8

You can use authorization codes to enable callers to override a station’s calling

privileges. For example, you can give a supervisor an authorization code so they

can make calls from a phone that is usually re stricted for these calls. Since each

authorization code has its own COR, the system uses the COR assigned to the

authorization code (and FRL assigned to the COR) to override the privileges

associated with the employee’s phone.

Note that authorization codes do not override dialed strings that are denied. For

example, if your ARS tables restrict users from placing calls to Colombia, a cal ler

cannot override the restriction with an authoriz ation code.

Before you start

Verify that the Authorization Codes field on the System Paramete rs Customer

Options screen is set to y.

!SECURITY ALERT:

You should make authorization codes as long as possible to increase the

level of security. You can set the length of authorization codes on the

Feature-Related System Parameters screen.
