User rights
SMS Gateway for MDaemon gives the administrator the ability to grant different rights to users.
User can send SMS to other users
If you enable this, users will have the right to send messages to other users of SMS Gateway for MDaemon.
Please remember that in this case it will not be necessary for the sender to know the recipient's mobile number, as users' own mobile numbers can be stored in the central phonebook.
User can send SMS to external recipients
When this option is enabled users can send messages to anyone who has a mobile phone that can receive SMS messages.
The sender will have to specify the number in the subject line of the message or use other syntaxes supported by SMS Gateway for MDaemon.
User can modify phonebook
When sending a message to a user of SMS Gateway for MDaemon, the sender does not have to specify the mobile number of the recipient, as this number is stored in the central phonebook on the server.
However it may happen that even though the user has been inserted into the system, their number has not yet been updated. In this case it is possible to specify the number on the fly. This can happen in one of two ways:-
- First way - the sender sends the email message to name.lastname@sms.xyzdomain.com. In this instance, SMS Gateway for MDaemon will see that the number of this user is not available and will notify the sender with an email message. The sender will then need to simply reply to the notification email specifying the number in the subject line. SMS Gateway for MDaemon will resend the message and update the central phonebook. In order for this to happen, the sender will need to have the right to modify the phonebook.
- Second way - the sender sends the email message to name.lastname@sms.xyzdomain.com and specifies the number in the subject line of the email message anyway. In this instance, SMS Gateway for MDaemon will update the phonebook with the specified number and send the message. Once again, in order for this to happen, the sender must have the right to modify the phonebook.
