I'm looking for some more information on the implementation of the connector in a large international organization where only 1 site will be using the Teams connector (other sites use different PABX systems)
The link mentioned in this article seems to be broken
(https://support.openrainbow.com/hc/articles/360013109119)
Does anyone have the updated link to this article?
Hello Jacques,
I tried to follow your link, but as you mention it is broken indeed.
What were you looking for exactly?
if you are looking for a way to restrict the use of the teams plugin for only a small group of users instead of the whole company, I assume you have to take care of this in the Microsoft environment. using some policies effecting those users only.
For the implementation of the plugin it looks straight forward,and works right away.
