GROUPING USERS
In order for Users to call the CyberSWITCH systems that have been assigned to a group, the user
must be in the same group. Any CyberSWITCH that receives a call from a user that does not belong
to the same group that the CyberSWITCH belongs will reject the call. By default, users belong to
<No Group>. Users may be configured to belong to more than one group.
