One of the foundations to setting up your phone system is knowing how to manage User Profiles. In most cases, a user is associated with a single Line, Voicemail Box, and Device; though multiple assignments are supported. You can also deny or grant users access to features like voicemail, call monitoring, Online Portal access, international calling, and more.

User Settings

To access the settings for a user, click Users in the left sidebar and then select the user you would like to set up.

General Tab

Identity

First Name

User’s first name.
Last Name

User’s last name.
JiveID

Email address required to access the Online Portal and other Jive apps.

Tip: We have many single sign-on options. To learn more, click here.
Email

User’s email address used for voicemail notification emails and receiving virtual faxes. User can optionally override this email address from the End User Portal.
Dialable Username

Numerical username used for One Touch Activation and permission-based tasks such as recording prompts, making international calls, or call monitoring.
Dialable Password

Numerical password of at least four digits (default 0000) used with the dialable username to access permission-based tasks such as recording prompts, making international calls, or call monitoring. This password is different from the user’s voicemail password. Click Show password to display the dialable password.
Login Enabled

Allows the user to login to the Online Portal and other Jive apps.
Support Pin

This pin is used to verify a user’s identity when calling Jive. Click [RESET AND EMAIL PIN TO USER] to allow a user to reset their pin (the user must have a valid email address).

Notes:
System admins and Jive cannot access a user’s support pin.
If you change a user’s email address, their pin will be automatically cleared.
