- SIP User – Select the Verve User (or Extension) of that person from the dropdown menu
- Phone Number – Type in the User’s Extension Number here (this is preferable over phone number)
- Disable Voicemail in Teams if you plan to use voicemail within Verve.

- If user is added by Verve, Client’s Global Administrator will need to log in and click ‘Sync users’ on the dashboard page to complete the process.
- The provisioning of a new user usually takes just a few minutes but can sometimes take longer to propagate in Microsoft servers. Once successfully registered, the User will appear with green icons indicating they are registered on the Enterprise Portal Dashboard.
Bulk Import
If adding users is done by Verve, the Client’s Global Administrator will need to log in and click ‘Sync users’ on the dashboard page to complete the process.
It is recommended to ask Verve for support to do a bulk upload – simply send us the list of email addresses you would like added, along with the user’s name and extension number if available.
