	32	+As stated earlier we would need a valid email address to even create the user. Next we would need to tie this user to an extension in the Customer Portal. This allows the Softphone to bind with an extension in order to be on the network.

34		-A **User** represents a real person who uses the phone system. A user is usually linked to one or more **extensions** and is what allows someone to log in and manage their own phone features (//if you have privileges to do so//).

36		-Users are mainly used for:
37		-
38		-* Logging into the Customer Portal
39		-* Checking voicemail
40		-* Managing call forwarding, call recordings, reports and other personal settings
41		-* Being added to **User Groups** for easier management

43		-Think of a User as the “profile” for a person, while the extension is the phone number they use.

49	49	In order to use the softphone you have to have a few things set up in the Customer Portal. First you will need a user account created and in order to do that we will need an email address to send the verification/account set up email to. Privileges needed in order to use the softphone are in the picture below.[[image:CP Main Privileges 11.png]]
