*72 can "call forward" anybody's extension!
Submitted by uwaqar on Tue, 04/14/2009 - 12:35pm.
Hi all,
I was very surprised when a user reported that he can call forward anybody's extension to another phone using feature code *72
When I dialed *72 from my phone, the prompt asks for your extension first and you can enter anybody's extension number and then call forward his phone
definitely, I am missing some configuration here! How to disable this behavior? i.e. a user can only call forward his own extension by using *72
Thanks,

You are correct. However, it's a standard feature code and if you go to feature codes in the pbx web gui you can disable this option, it is the very first line there. Just disable this option and submit the changes and click the orange update bar
 
But if I disable it in the

But if I disable it in the trixbox, no user will be able to "call forward all" using *72 for his own extension!!! Thus my users will be deprived of "call forward all" feature all together
Ideally, a user should just be able to call forward all *his and only his extension, only* - not anybody's extension!
 
Maybe this will help

I found this a while back (not sure if it still works but it could be edited to work if it doesn't) Thanks to user Dickson for contributing...

Need to try the following by setting as a Voicemail locator option VmX or just setting a hidden option in the IVR.
Drop the code below into your extension_custom.conf file
Point an IVR prompt to "CUSTOM" and enter a destination of
custom-cf-on,s,1 (to enable)
custom-cf-off,s,1 (to disable)
The code will ask for the users voicemail password (that corresponds with the extension they want to call forward to) as verification and applies the callforwarding.
[custom-cf-on]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,Playback(call-fwd-unconditional)
exten => s,n,Playback(please-enter-your&extension)
exten => s,n,Read(fromext,then-press-pound,,,,)
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,VMAuthenticate(${fromext})
exten => s,n(startread),Playback(ent-target-attendant)
exten => s,n,Read(toext,then-press-pound,,,,)
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["foo${toext}"="foo"]?startread)
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,Set(DB(CF/${fromext})=${toext})
exten => s,n,Playback(call-fwd-unconditional&for&extension)
exten => s,n,SayDigits(${fromext})
exten => s,n,Playback(is-set-to)
exten => s,n,SayDigits(${toext})
exten => s,n,Macro(hangupcall,)
[custom-cf-off]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,Playback(call-fwd-unconditional)
exten => s,n,Playback(please-enter-your&extension)
exten => s,n,Read(fromext,then-press-pound,,,,)
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,VMAuthenticate(${fromext})
exten => s,n,dbDel(CF/${fromext})
exten => s,n,Playback(call-fwd-unconditional&de-activated&for&extension)
exten => s,n,SayDigits(${fromext})
exten => s,n,Macro(hangupcall,)
 
I once asked about this.

I once asked about this. Look in the wiki for a solution. It might be under "additional tips and scripts". Dickson provided me with a code to fix this

I post the solution myself:
modified the app/script to not prompt for "enter the extension". Of course this limits to usability to using the feature codes from the IP phone only. Modify the code to the following, save and reload asterisk:
[app-cf-on]
include => app-cf-on-custom
exten => *72,1,Answer
exten => *72,n,Wait(1)
exten => *72,n,Macro(user-callerid,)
exten => *72,n,Playback(call-fwd-unconditional)
;exten => *72,n,Playback(please-enter-your&extension)
;exten => *72,n,Read(fromext,then-press-pound,,,,)
;exten => *72,n,Set(fromext=${IF($["foo${fromext}"="foo"]?${AMPUSER}:${fromext})})
exten => *72,n,Set(fromext=${AMPUSER})
exten => *72,n,Wait(1)
exten => *72,n(startread),Playback(ent-target-attendant)
exten => *72,n,Read(toext,then-press-pound,,,,)
exten => *72,n,GotoIf($["foo${toext}"="foo"]?startread)
exten => *72,n,Wait(1)
exten => *72,n,Set(DB(CF/${fromext})=${toext})
exten => *72,n,Playback(call-fwd-unconditional&for&extension)
exten => *72,n,SayDigits(${fromext})
exten => *72,n,Playback(is-set-to)
exten => *72,n,SayDigits(${toext})
exten => *72,n,Macro(hangupcall,)
exten => _*72.,1,Answer
exten => _*72.,n,Wait(1)
exten => _*72.,n,Macro(user-callerid,)
exten => _*72.,n,Set(DB(CF/${AMPUSER})=${EXTEN:3})
exten => _*72.,n,Playback(call-fwd-unconditional&for&extension)
exten => _*72.,n,SayDigits(${AMPUSER})
exten => _*72.,n,Playback(is-set-to)
exten => _*72.,n,SayDigits(${EXTEN:3})
exten => _*72.,n,Macro(hangupcall,)
; end of [app-cf-on]
