# New Employee: How to setup an extension and phone number (DID)

A few scenarios will determine whether this is something you can do yourself from the Customer Portal, or you will need to submit a request to our Service Team.

### Scenario 1

> *"The new employee will be using an existing extension and desk phone."*

Users with Admin access can manage their extension settings and the extension settings for all other users in their company. You can find instructions on how this is done here: [Admin Users: How to Manage Extensions from the Customer Portal](https://kb.greenlinknetworks.com/knowledge/customer-portal-options)

**Note** - In this scenario, the new employee will get the current DID already associated with the existing extension. If you need a different DID associated with the existing extension, you will have to reach out to our Service Team for assistance. The steps can be found here: [How do I get a new number (DID)?](https://kb.greenlinknetworks.com/knowledge/how-do-i-get-a-new-number-added)

### Scenario 2

> *"The new employee will be using a new extension and/or a new phone."*

Our service team will need to assist you with this scenario. Please do the following:
