Controlling who has access to a users presence does need to be controlled. Todd is correct that executives do not want staff to be able to monitor their presence.
The CounterPath soft phones utilizing their peer-to-peer presence issue a request to the target party to authorize the request to monitor their presence. This is not practical with hard phones. Other applications utilize a while list / black list concept to authorize functions such as this. If users could create an list in their User portal of the extensions that are authorized to monitor presence, the Config UI could verify authorization when a speed dial entry added with Subscribe to presence checked. This also removes the need for an Admin to get involved. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd Hodgen Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 9:24 AM To: 'Damian Krzeminski'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [sipX-dev] Improvement request to enable/disable speed dial permission from admin for users It does make sense that an Administrator should be able to control if presence information is available about particular users. As an example, you don't necessarily want staff of a company being able to add presence on their phone for the executives in the company, without proper authority. Since this is controlled in speed dial, the administrator would need to have the ability to control this on a per user basis. I can see some liability to having presence available to anyone and everyone, and potentials for abuse if the administrator doesn't have the ability to control it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Damian Krzeminski Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 5:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [sipX-dev] Improvement request to enable/disable speed dial permission from admin for users Soumya wrote: > Hi All, > > This query is regarding improvement request to enable/disable speed > dial permission for users. > > Personal auto attendant can be disabled by administrator for > users.Similar way admin should be able to give a speed dial > permission for users.

Admin can now propose the defaults, users can change it to adjust to real usage patterns. I don't think that adding a special permission to prohibit users from changing speed dials makes sense.
