¶ Admin Settings
Site settings set options such as site users, user groups, backup, updates, and upgrades options.
¶ API Keys
Here you can generate random keys which are used for authentication with PBXware when using the PBXware API.
The page shows all currently created API Keys. Every system has a Master Key which by default, has all permissions set and can not be deleted. The Master Key can be edited and its permissions can be changed. On new systems, the Master Key is randomly generated while on upgraded systems it will have the value of the Key that was previously used.
- Add New API Key
Clicking the Add New API Key icon will open a page where you can generate a new API key and set permissions for that key.
- Documentation
Clicking the Documentation icon will open a page with additional information about the API.
¶ Add/Edit API Key
- Name
A name for the API Key. Used only for presentation.
(E.g. My API Key)
- API Key
The generated API Key. You can enter a key manually or generate it by clicking on the Generate Random API Key button.
(E.g. 22AmG6dAPpv9ZkusnOgkJPaQ7sNkVn5S)
- Generate Random API Key
Clicking this button will generate a random API Key.
- Inactivity suspension
If the API key was not used in the selected time period, it will get suspended. If the API Key is suspended you will see a red warning icon next to the Last Activity field on API Keys main page. You can reset the suspension by clicking the Reset Icon on the API Keys page. The reset Icon can be found next to the Edit and Delete Icons.
- All Tenants
If Enabled then API Users will have permissions to send requests for any of the tenants using this API Key. This does not apply for the Master Tenant. To allow permission for Master Tenant changes you need to enable the Master Tenant option.
If Disabled a new field called Tenants will be shown where you can select tenants that the key will have permissions for. When Disabled, the Master Tenant field is hidden but Master Tenant can be selected as an option from the Tenants field.
- Tenants
Visible only if All Tenants option is disabled. Here you can select tenants that the key will have permissions for. If no tenants are set then the API user will not be able to change any of the tenants using this key.
- Master Tenant
Visible only if All Tenants option is enabled. Sets the permission for Master Tenant changes.
NOTE: If All Tenants option is disabled then this field is not visible but Master Tenant can be chosen as a selection in the Tenants option
- Allow All IP Addresses
If Enabled then the API Requests containing this API Key can come from any IP Address. If you want to allow only certain IP Addresses or IP Address Ranges to use this API Key then disable this option and a field called Allow IPs will be shown where you can enter a comma-separated list of IP Addresses or IP Ranges that will be able to send requests using this API Key.
- Allow IPs
Visible only if Allow All IP Addresses option is disabled. Here you can enter a comma-separated list of IP Addresses or IP Ranges that will be able to send requests using this API Key. Any requests coming from an IP that is not on the list will be rejected.
(E.g. 127.0.0.1,127.0.0.0/8)
- Allow All Actions
If Enabled then the user can execute any API Method using this API Key. The API Methods are described in the API Documentation, which can be found on the API Keys main page. If Disabled then a field will be shown where you can set permission for each Action separately.
¶ ARI (7.2)
In PBXware 7.2 we have added the ability to register external ARI applications to PBXware in order to manipulate calls in a way that PBXware otherwise would not support .
To add ARI Application, in the PBXware interface, navigate to the Admin Settings -> ARI -> Applications
-
Add Application
Press this button to add a new ARI Application. -
Search
Enter the search pattern to filter the list of ARI applications. -
Name
A custom name assigned to your ARI application. -
ARI Username
The username used by the remote system for authentication with PBXware’s ARI. -
Description
Short description of ARI application functionality.
.
- Application Name
A custom name assigned to your ARI application used for easier management.
NOTE: Valid characters are a-zA-Z0-9-_
- ARI Username
The username used by the remote system for authentication with PBXware’s ARI.
ARI Username must be unique for every application.
- ARI Password
Password used by the remote system for authentication with PBXware’s ARI.
- IP Address
IP address of the remote system registering to the PBXware’s ARI.
To improve the security of this feature, we implemented an IP authentication for ARI connections which will only allow registrations from the IP addresses associated with the ARI Application.
- Description
Short description of ARI Application.
Once successfully configured and authenticated with the PBXware’s ARI, ARI Applications can be assigned as destinations on DID, IVR and Special Routes.
If the ARI Application is deleted, it will be automatically removed from all the destinations it was assigned on.
.
¶ Access Codes
The access codes section allows PBXware administrators to create custom access codes, which will be redirected to the selected ARI Application when the access code is dialed.
ARI access codes must be different from the PBXware’s access codes, but if it does happen that ARI and PBXware access codes are identical, the access code will trigger the PBXware’s function as native features have the priority.
To add a new ARI Access Code, click the + icon in the ARI Access Codes table.
.
- Access code
ARI Access Code as created by the user.
- Destination
Destination that will be dialed once the ARI Access code is executed.
Select a preferred destination from the drop-down list available in the Destination field. The list will include all the ARI Applications configured on the PBXware.
.
¶ Tenant Permissions
The Tenant Permissions page enables PBXware administrators to meticulously assign ARI application permissions on a per-tenant, application-specific basis. A high level of control ensures that each application is only utilized by the intended tenant(s).
- Search
Enter the search pattern to filter the list of ARI applications.
- Tenant Name
Name of the tenant, permission is assigned to.
- Tenant Code
Number of the tenant permission is assigned to.

Permit - Tenant will be able to use selected ARI applications. If no application is selected, none will be permitted. If ALL is selected, all available ARI applications will be available for use.
Deny - Tenant will not be able to use selected ARI applications. If no application is selected, all will be permited. if ALL is selected, none of the available ARI Applications will be available for use.
None - By default, the permission type is set to None, which allows all tenants to use ALL ARI applications. This also means that tenants will have access to all ARI Applications if no ARI rules are created.
- Applications
Select ARI Applications you would like to permit or deny access to.
.
¶ Action Logs
Action Logs feature will provide information on what changes are made, who made them and when. It can also help you detect unauthorized access by storing information of IP addresses used to log in to your PBXware.
¶ Action Log Filters
- Date Range
Date range for which the user wants to see action logs.
- Page:
Filter the Action Logs by a specific page. This way you can see all the changes done on a single page.
(E.g. If you want to see all changes on the Extensions page, select 'Extension')
- User:
Filter the Action Logs by a specific User. This way you can see all the changes that one user did on the system.
- Action:
Each change on the system is presented as an action. Using this filter you can search the Action Logs for a specific action.
Action can be one of the following:
- All
- Login
- Logout
- Add
- Edit
- Reload
- Restart
- Reset
- Listen
- Download
- CSV Upload
- Delete
(Select Box)
- Search:
Use this field for a more advanced search. The search can be done by any value seen in the Data field or by an IP Address.
(E.g. 127.0.0.1 will show all Action Logs for Actions from that IP Address)
- Tenants:
Use this field to search Action Logs for changes done on specific tenant(s). Enter the tenants as a comma-separated list and click search.
(E.g. 200,201 will show all Action Logs for tenants 200 and 201)
¶ Action Log Fields
- Tenant:
Tenant number where the action was done on.
- Date:
Date when the action was done.
- User:
Shows the user who did the action.
- IP Address:
IP Address where the request for the action came from.
- Page:
Page where the action happened on.
- Event:

- Data:
Shows some additional data about the completed action. The data varies depending on the action type and the page where it was completed.
NOTE: When users select one of the two action types: 'Listen' or 'Download', they can see information regarding ID and CDR ID.
¶ Asterisk CLI
To make it easy for our customers that do not have much experience with working in a terminal environment, there is an integrated Asterisk CLI monitor in its interface. Asterisk CLI is accessible to main administrative accounts on PBXware and does not require root password in order to access it.
This might initially sound like a potential security issue but we have prevented this by only allowing execution of monitoring commands when using in-browser Asterisk CLI. Apart from permissions being limited, you will be able to use debugging and other monitoring features the same as if you are logged in Asterisk CLI.
¶ Branding
Even if we have already made the branding much easier to use for customers that do not have experience with CSS editing, new interface pushed this even further, allowing customers to use a color picker to precisely define the shade of color they would like to use for each of the PBXware GUI elements. You can also change the Logo and the Login page title and header.
Two branding types are available:
- Simple
- Advanced
By default, the branding type is set to Simple.
¶ Simple branding
Simple branding allows you to modify the user interface colors to any colors you wish. By picking a value from a color picker you can change the color for almost any user interface item.
This page also allows you to modify the Online Self Care Logo and interface colors.
While changing the colors they will automatically be applied to the interface as a preview but will not be applied completely until the Save button is clicked.
¶ Resetting to defaults
When using the “Reset to defaults” button, all simple branding images will be deleted and the colors will be reverted to the default system colors.
¶ Branding Web
Branding Web allows customers to modify the web application interface colors to any colors they wish. By picking a value from a color picker, they can change the color for almost any user interface item.
After changing the colors, changes will not be applied until the 'Save changes' button is clicked, and the app page is reloaded.
¶ Resetting to defaults
When using the 'Reset to defaults' button, all branding colors will be reverted to the default system colors.
¶ Advanced branding
Advanced branding works this way: in order to make any CSS changes, you edit CSS files and upload images manually.
¶ Date/Time
- Date Format:
Set the proper date format shown throughout the systems interface
(E.g. 04 Oct 2006)
- Time Format:
Set the proper time format shown throughout the systems interface
(E.g. Select between 12/24 hour format)
(Select box)
¶ Groups
In PBXware version 6.7.3, we have introduced a small improvement to the Groups page, which should help administrators in their daily operations.
A search bar was added to the main Groups page and will allow users to filter the Groups by the group name or the group number.
In case a search is performed by the tenant number, results will display all of the groups that the tenant is assigned to, including groups with “All tenants” selected.
Groups allow for a unified permission system, enabling users access to various applications or part of the applications.
Each site can edit existing or add new groups as per their requirements by clicking on the appropriate action buttons. During add/edit, permissions and group name are available for edit.
Note: After creating a group it can be assigned to a user by going to the Users page.
¶ Add/Edit Group
- Group Name:
Name of the Group.
- All Tenants
If Enabled, then users, who are members of this group, will be able to access all the tenants on the system. This does not apply for the Master Tenant. To enable access for Master Tenant you need to enable the Master Tenant option.
If Disabled, a new field called Tenants will be shown where you can select tenants that users, who are members of this group, will be able to view. When Disabled, the Master Tenant field is hidden but Master Tenant can be selected as an option from the Tenants field.
- Tenants
Visible only if All Tenants option is disabled. Here you can select tenants that users, who are members of this group, will be able to view.
- Master Tenant
Visible only if All Tenants option is enabled. If Enabled then users, who are members of this group, will be able to view Master Tenant as well.
NOTE: If All Tenants option is disabled then this field is not visible but Master Tenant can be chosen as a selection in the Tenants option
- Show Advanced
Enabling this option gives users, who are members of this group, the option to see and modify the Advanced options of sections in PBXware.
- Reload & Restart actions
Enabling this option gives users, who are members of this group, will have the option do reload and restart actions.
The fields under the above-mentioned options are there so you can define permissions for every page on the system. Most of the options are checkboxes and are self-explanatory, where the name of the option represents the page and if the checkbox is checked then the users, who are members of this group, will be able to view and change the page.
(E.g. Under Extensions, if System is checked then the user will be able to see the Extensions > System Page. If not checked then the page will not be visible)
Permissions that are not simple checkboxes or are not associated with a whole page, but just a part of the page, are explained below:
.
¶ Extensions
- Disable create extension (6.7.6)
With this option selected, group members will not be able to create new extensions on the system/tenant.
- Disable delete extension (6.7.6)
With this option selected, group members will not have the ability to delete extensions on the system/tenant.
NOTE: Changing the group permissions for these two options will be effective immediately, even if users are already logged in. In case they try to create/delete extensions, an error message will pop up, informing users they do not have permission to create/delete extensions.
However, in case the administrator moves the user from the group that had the ability to create/delete extensions to the group that has these permissions disabled, permissions will not be changed immediately, and the user would have to log out before changes are in effect. Because of this restriction administrator should check the box Force Logout to make sure changes are applied when moving users between groups.
¶ Reports
- Reports > Show Call Rating Cost:
If this permission is enabled, then users, who are members of this group, will be able to see the Call Rating Cost on the CDR Page, CDR CSV Download and CDR E-mail. If this permission is disabled then the Call Rating Cost field will not be shown on the previously mentioned pages.
- Reports > Allow CDR Extensions:
This option is used to limit the extensions that users, who are members of this group, will be able to see on the CDR page. If this field is not empty and is populated with a comma-separated list of extensions, then depending on the dropdown left of the field, the shown CDRs will be limited. You can choose the type of limitation by using the options in the dropdown field.
- Including: Show only CDRs where the caller OR the callee is one of the extensions from the list.
- Between: Show only CDRs where both the caller AND the callee are one of the extensions from the list.
- From: Show only CDRs where the caller is one of the extensions from the list.
- To: Show only CDRs where the callee is one of the extensions from the list.
- Excluding (6.7.5) - this option allows you to exclude extensions by adding them to the list and separating them with comma (i.e. 100,101,114).
¶ IP Address Restrictions
The IP Address restrictions page is used to set whether some IP ranges have access or are banned, which depends on the selection of the Blacklist/Whitelist in the Settings menu.
¶ Policies
Add/Edit IP restrictions policies that dictate which IP ranges can/cannot access the PBXware user interface.
When adding/editing a policy, you need to set the name and IP range for the current policy.
¶ General
- Policy Name:
Name that describes this policy.
(E.g. admin)
- IP Address (CIDR):
IP Address from which users will or will not be able to access the PBXware user interface.
(E.g. 10.1.0.0/24)
¶ Settings
¶ IP Restriction Settings
- IP Restriction type:
Select whether set policies will be whitelisted or blacklisted.
- If Whitelist is selected then all defined policies will serve as a whitelist, which means that users can access the PBXware user interface only from the IP Addresses defined in the policies.
- If Blacklist is selected then all defined policies will serve as a blacklist, which means that IP Addresses defined in the policies will be blocked.

¶ Sessions
To prevent unauthorized access to the PBXware web interface we created an automatic account suspension feature. By default, accounts will be suspended after 5 unsuccessful login attempts in 1 minute but users can change these values to match their preferences. After an account is suspended it will have to be unlocked by the administrator.
- Session Type:
Session type describes which type of connection will be used for connection to the PBXware user interface.
Available options:

.
¶ Settings
¶ General
- Inactivity suspension:
Set a period of time allowed for accounts to be inactive. If an administrator/user’s last login was more than the defined period ago then the account will be flagged as disabled and the administrator/user will not be able to log in.
Another administrator can edit the account to enable it again.
By default, this option does not apply for administrator accounts.
- Apply inactivity on administrators:
If set to "Yes" then the "Inactivity suspension" option will be applied for administrator accounts as well.
- Password Expiry:
A drop-down field where you can choose a predefined period for password expiration. The administrators/users will be prompted to change their password after the given period.
(E.g. If 6 Months is selected, then if 6 months have passed since the last password change, on the next login the administrator/user will be prompted to change his password.)
- Check for breached passwords:
If this option is set to Yes then alongside the strong password check the password will be looked up on the https://haveibeenpwned.com API.
https://haveibeenpwned.com is a website that allows internet users to check if their personal data has been compromised by data breaches. The service collects and analyzes hundreds of database dumps and pastes containing information about billions of leaked accounts, and allows users to search for their own information by entering their username or email address. The API also allows the user to check if a password is found in the database and how many times it has been used. This makes sure that our password will not be one of the commonly used passwords and the lookup is completely secure.
It is recommended to set this option to Yes.
¶ Login
