Yes its possible, just create different contexts for each organisation.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Announcement System for a Charity
when did you trash it since they changed to freepbx they have added a new permissions based login and they have also split out users and devices. Very nice for setting up a company with different divisions. You can give the support extensions to the support manager to deal with.It is well worth the upgrade to freepbx On 4/21/06, Michiel van Baak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 13:40, Thu 20 Apr 06, Douglas Garstang wrote: Does AMP also let you split up each charity so that each only has access to manage their own content?

[Asterisk-Users] Announcement System for a Charity
I'm putting together an Asterisk server for a local charity to use as an announcement system. I've been thinking about how to write the dialplan to allow different options for different groups' announcements, as well as mailboxes for the various groups and the charity's administrators. Of course, this would also need to include an option for the heads of the different groups to modify their announcements. Before I write it, I was wondering if anyone had an extensive dialplan or an AGI script that already did something like this. I know it'll only take a couple of hours to write and test this, but I thought if someone has something already written, I could just borrow it from you.

I considered using [EMAIL PROTECTED], but the installation did not detect my network card and I kind of gave up. However, regardless, does [EMAIL PROTECTED] have built-in functionality to have a hidden menu for a user to modify a recorded file (i.e. a file played as an option on the IVR). And I don't mean from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] web interface, I mean an option that can be added to the IVR menu.

In my situation, that is not an issue because the only modifiable part of this installation needs to be IVR-accessible and is only to record announcements for different groups by the respective groups. However, I see your point. They need a sort of tenant capability.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Announcement System for a Charity
First, I'm surprised it didn't detect your network card.. I'd say it'd be worth putting in another network card. It's autodetected every one I've used Second, I am not sure if it has built in functionality to do what you want, but it certainly will come closer out of the box than a scratch-built asterisk... If you're comfortable and proficient with compiling and installing things in linux, you'll certainly learn more by installing asterisk by yourself, but if you want to get a PBX up quickly, I'd really recommend [EMAIL PROTECTED] first... You can use it as a base, and build the autoattendant to do what you want, just as you would after you created your scratch system! -Steve From: Nabeel Jafferali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 4/20/2006 3:14 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Announcement System for a Charity Why not use [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's got the AMP/FreePBX already installed, so it'd be easy for them to maintain, and should do what you want..
