Configure Provider which can make calls
In order to allow a Provider to make calls, we need to:
- Create a new User for it.
- Assign the Provider to this User.
NOTE: Provider cannot be assigned to Reseller and to Accountant.
This video shows how to do this:

NOTE: We suggest to configure ONE common provider for outgoing and incoming calls, otherwise (if there will be two providers with same IP) Asterisk will be confused which provider should be used to accept calls. If you create few Providers with same IP, username and password, make sure you assigned them to the same User.
How mor handles balance for users that are also providers?
The provider's balance increases only when there is a call made through this provider. If provider is assigned
to user then when same provider is making a call, user's balance - to which provider is assigned - decreases.
And there is no difference if you have Provider billing add-on or not.
