Users. User Types

Modified on Fri, Jun 12 at 1:25 PM

Description: A User in the Ooma Enterprise system refers to a license that enables a single user to access and use the phone system. There are several Types of Users available in the Ooma Enterprise system.  


In the Ooma Enterprise system, a User refers to a user license that allows an individual user to access and use the phone system. Each User represents a unique user Account that can be assigned to a specific phone device, such as a desk phone or softphone application on a computer or mobile device. 


The concept of a User in the Ooma Enterprise system is similar to a Seat of a traditional phone system, where each user is assigned a phone number and extension. However, in the Ooma Enterprise system, Users are virtual, meaning that they can be assigned to any device that is connected to the Internet and can be easily re-assigned or moved to another device if needed. 

Businesses can purchase as many Users as they need to support their employees, and each User can be customized with its own unique settings and permissions. The number of Users a business needs will depend on its size and the number of employees who require access to the phone system.


The Phone System App within the Ooma Enterprise system provides a range of User Types, each tailored for specific purposes. To create a User, navigate to the Users Tab and click the "Add User" button, which will display a drop-down menu of available types for you to select from based on your requirements. 

This article will provide an overview of the various User types available. For detailed instructions on creating a new User, please refer to the corresponding article via this link.
