NethVoice: improve usability and modernization of the administrator interface

[andrea-marchionni]

Description

The NethVoice interface needs a full redesign to improve usability, simplicity, and immediacy, while introducing new management capabilities.
Key goals include creating an intermediate admin level — “Administrator-Light” (or “Superuser”) — that allows customers or company representatives to manage specific settings autonomously, without accessing critical configurations.

The redesign should also include:

• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for enhanced security across all privileged roles
• Rebranding capabilities, allowing customization of logo, and company name to better adapt NethVoice to different customers’ identities

---

Main Goals

• Redesign the UI and UX of NethVoice for improved usability and clarity
• Introduce the Administrator-Light role with limited operational permissions
• Implement Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all admin and superuser roles
• Enable Rebranding / White Label capabilities (custom logo, product name, company name)
• Simplify navigation and configuration flows
• Modernize design consistency, iconography, and responsiveness

---

Administrator-Light Role Features

• Edit users’ mobile phone numbers (impacting NethVoice CTI states)

• Configure phone ringtones

• Enable or disable DND (Do Not Disturb) for other users

• Access a real-time dashboard displaying:

  • Extension status (available / busy / DND), registration status and a test for incoming
  • Line status /qualify time, authentication and registration) and a test for incoming and outgoing calls
  • Active queues or ongoing calls

Interface Improvements

• Modern, consistent, and responsive UI design

• Mobile-friendly layout

• Simplified and intuitive workflows
  * Configure by users group
  * View of group members and user by profile
  * View of enabled configuration (WebPhone, Mobile phone, Devices, voicemail etc..)
  * Search for the device owner
  * Make it possible for a user's configurations to be moved to another user (extension, profile, group, devices)

• Clear feedback for actions (success, error, warning)

• Unified terminology and iconography across all modules

• Quick access to essential features and live system status

• User credential management:
  * Send new user credentials with the requirement to change them upon first login
  * Edit user credentials
  * user block

• Integrated 2FA authentication and session management

• Rebranding options for administrators to customize:

  • Application logo
  • Brand name and welcome text

Expected Benefits

• Increased autonomy for customers and team supervisors
• Reduced workload for system administrators
• Stronger security through 2FA
• Flexible white-label solution adaptable to customer branding
• Modernized, faster, and more user-friendly interface
