So I can be clear in my understanding (correct me if I am wrong). When the PSTN number is dialed the identity will be the identity of the hunt group. If that hunt group has the permission to dial (long distance for example), then you should be able to dial the number. If not it will fail on a security error. > > I can't see making a change that distorts our security model just to be > able to check a box on test suite without documenting a workaround > (which is already in wide use). Hardly the reason for me proposing a new feature .... Let me explain. Each PSTN number you want to be able to add to a hunt group must have a (pseudo) user. I feel this can be a user inconvenience. Perhaps one should associate a pseudo user with a dial plan ( just thinking out loud). May be less inconvenient. Of course, usability is not my domain so I'll leave it at that. > > > -- M.
