Configure access permissions to Telephony

The Telephony section includes all call activity in Bitrix24. Use access permissions to control who can:

  • Make outbound calls
  • Listen to call recordings
  • Rent phone numbers
  • Manage telephony settings
Telephony access permissions are available on all commercial cloud plans and in Bitrix24 On-Premise.

Go to CRM > Sales > Sales channels > Telephony > Connection > Access permissions.


Default roles

Access permissions are based on roles. Bitrix24 includes four default roles:

  • Administrator: Can make calls, listen to recordings, view all calls, and manage telephony settings. Cannot refill the balance.
  • Chief executive: Can make calls, listen to recordings, and view all calls.
  • Head of department: Can make calls, listen to recordings, and view calls from their department.
  • Manager: Can work only with their own calls.

Assign telephony access

Select users who will work with telephony and assign roles to them.

You can assign roles to:

Users: One or more employees.

Departments: All employees in a department.

User groups: Available only in Bitrix24 On-Premise. Configure the group and select it in the telephony settings.

Social network groups: All members of a workgroup or project

Do not confuse User Groups with Social Network Groups.

User groups are available only in Bitrix24 On-Premise. They divide users into groups with different access levels.

Social network groups are workgroups or projects created for team collaboration.

After selecting users or groups, assign a role and save the changes.

If a user has multiple roles, Bitrix24 applies the highest access level from those roles.


In brief

  • Use telephony access permissions to control who can make calls, listen to recordings, rent numbers, and manage telephony settings.

  • Use a default role, edit an existing role, or create a new one.

  • Assign roles to users, departments, or groups.
