I was under impression that until now we only were talking about one user and multiple phones. You add line for user A to phone X and Y and if the line is shared both sets can monitor and hand over the calls directed to A or initiated by A. The two phones can be on 2 persons desk but they effectively are configured with the same 'user'. We can add "shared" parameter to User->Phones screen. That lets the admin to see all the lines for a specific user (on all phones) and select the ones that should be shared. I would suggest starting with a per user attribute though: I do not think that current data model easily support having per-line parameters and it would be nice to get the feature configurable and start testing it as soon as the appearance agent is ready. > This suggests that 1) is the preferred approach.

Does it make sense in SIP world? What's the advantage over configuring another line for the same user?
