<![CDATA[Recreate users]]>We have a number of users already setup in FOP2 be need to add a load of next extensions. If I go into the Users section and select "Recreate Users" does this have any effect on existing users or does it just add new extensions as users?

Beside the physical extensions they have around 100 virtual extensions only used to forward numbers to a mobile phone.
Is there any way to exclude this virtual extensions from the recreate users function?
In my opinion there is no need for having a virtual extension having a fop login....

Actually , since a couple of versions Recreate Users wont' change existing users, so you are fine using it to add new users in bulk.

best regards,

Maybe it would be good to ask the question "Do you want to recreate current users?" and then that would give both options.

Perhaps I will modify the recreate users in a future release so it does not modify existing users and adds new ones.. maybe that would be the best option without compromising functionality at all.

Glad I didn't just do that then. How would I get FOP2 to add users for new extensions added to FreePBX without having to add them individually?

So do not use recreate users to just add new as it will change permissions for every existing user to the default permissions on install time.
