You can designate specific phones (hosts) that users (guests) can temporarily sign in to and use as their own phone.
Workspace phones and user phones can be enabled as a hoteling host phone.

If a user is set up with shared lines, speed dials, and/or monitoring keys like BLF and call park, these don’t appear on a host phone when the user is signed in as a guest. Host phones can have shared lines configured, which are then available to all hoteling users.
