Is there a simplified interface that can be used to easily make basic changes?

Is there a simplified interface that can be given to customers for them to easily make basic changes such as IVRS, Extensions, queues, etc... without letting them touch trunks settings etc...?

I want to be able to give them an easy to to make basic changes, without the risk of having them mess everything up.

Thanks

That's really the purpose of the ARI, but it's not as broad as perhaps you would like. If customers can get to IVRs, extensions, and queues, then trust me, they can mess everything up.

If you run FreePBX in database mode, you can assign pages in FreePBX to specific users without giving away the farm.

There was a security flaw, that has since been corrected, in that scheme a few years ago and the PIAF team moved to Apache security, a wise move at the time.

Now that security flaw has been corrected by the FreePBX crew and the database mode works swimmingly. Unfortunately, the times that I have put PIAF in database mode, it breaks stuff. The database mode works swimmingly when I compile everything by hand, btw.

They key word above is "that." Doesn't mean all of the security flaws have been found. A lot of the FreePBX code was written by folks that have long since disappeared. So finding all the potential security holes is next to impossible IMHO.

Hi

But you can overlay Apache security over the top of FreePBX security in webserver mode, which gives the security of PBX in a Flash, with the flexibility of the administrators module.
