Chapter 1 Get Started
Understand Administrator and User Views
The Cisco Unified IP Conference Phone 8831 for Third-Party Call Control firmware provides specific
privileges for login to a user account and an administrator account. The Administrator account name is
admin, and the User account name is user. These account names cannot be changed. The Admin account
is designed to give the service provider or VAR configuration access to the Cisco IP phone, while the
User account is designed to give limited and configurable control to the end user of the device.
The User and Admin accounts can be independently password protected. If the service provider set an
Administrator account password, you are prompted for it when you click Admin Login. If it does not
yet exist, the screen is refreshed, displaying the administration parameters. No default passwords are
assigned to either the Administrator or the User accounts. Only the Administrator account can assign or
change passwords.
The Administrator account can view and modify all web profile parameters, including web parameters
available to the user login. The phone system administrator can further restrict the parameters that a User
account can view and modify by using a provisioning profile.
The configuration parameters that are available to the User account are configurable in the conference
phone. User access to the conference phone web user interface can be disabled.
Restrict User Access to the Phone Interface Menus
The Admin account can set the phone web user interface to allow or disable access by the User account.
Allowing User account access gives a user the option of setting parameters, such as speed dial numbers
and caller ID blocking through the phone web user interface.
The ability to configure individual parameters can be restricted by using phone profile provisioning. For
more information on provisioning, see the Cisco Unified IP Conference Phone 8831 for Third-Party Call
Control Provisioning Guide on cisco.com.
To change the user account access to the phone LCD GUI setup menu:
Click Admin Login > advanced > Voice > System.

in different tabs.
