Hello,
One of the feature requests for 3CX was the ability to have multiple logins for administrative purposes (http://3cx.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Multiple-login-s-for-administrating-perpeses/80841-9854). It was announced on this same feature request page that "In the next 3CX Phone System Version 11 we are going to have the ability for multiple extensions to be able to log in to the 3CX management console using extension number and PIN".
When 3CX v11 BETA was released, it was also announced that 3CX now had this feature implemented (http://www.3cx.com/blog/releases/3cx-phone-system-version-11-beta-available/): "•Multiple access by allowed extensions to connect to the 3CX Management Console and 3CX Wallboard".
The point of having this feature implemented is to avoid password sharing, a highly unrecommended practice. However, what's the point in having this ability in 3CX v11, if any user with access to the management console can go into Settings / Advanced / Custom Parameters / WEBSERVERPASS and see the master password? This can be considered a security exposure...
