New permissions for managing phone associations
Voice
Account management
Administrators can now control which users can view, edit, or remove their own or others' phone associations by assigning new telephony permissions. These permissions help to ensure that only authorized users can change station assignments. The new permissions are:
- Telephony > SelfStationAssociation > View
- Telephony > SelfStationAssociation > Edit
- Telephony > Station > DisassociateSelf
To maintain access, update user or OAuth client roles with the required permissions before enforcement begins. Roles with the Conversation > Call > Add permission will automatically receive these new permissions in an upcoming update.

Agent ownership support for customer first callbacks
Callbacks
Customer engagement
Administrators can now enable agent ownership for Customer First Callbacks (CFC), allowing the system to reserve the original agent before dialing the callback.

In addition, the maximum duration an agent can own a scheduled callback has increased from seven days to 30 days. These capabilities align Customer First Callbacks with existing Agent First Callback features and help improve agent productivity and sales conversion.
