Abstract: Method and system for defining access rights in a telephone switching system comprising functions for controlling the operating system of the telephone switching system on the basis of commands entered. In the method, the right of access to the operating system is determined on the basis of a user identifier and a password associated with it. Moreover, a user profile is formed, said profile comprising one or more user identifiers and having a predetermined validity period. According to the method, a validity parameter associated with the user data is decreased on the basis of elapsed time and/or the number of log-on times and/or the weighting values of the commands entered.

Abstract: A method for transfer of files produced by a communication device from a mass storage of the communication device to a memory of a post-processing system for the files maintains the control file of the communication device by marking it with the information on the state of the files in each mass storage of the communication device, and a time stamp of the latest writing operation into it. This is followed by reading of the control file into a post-processing system, and comparing the file to another control file which is in the memory of the post-processing system and which is updated in each transfer. Reading into the post-processing system of such files of the communication device that have been modified on the basis of the comparison of control files since the latest updating of the control files of the post-processing system.
