I have a user with 3 lines assigned in Webex Calling (one primary/direct extension and 2 shared lines). The user would like calls to their primary line to ring in the Webex iOS app, but not the 2 shared lines. In the Call Settings (accessed via the desktop app), the ringtone for Line 3 (one of the shared lines) is set to Off. What settings am I missing to prevent that line from ringing in the mobile app?

You're on the right track by trying to configure per-line ringtone settings, but Webex Calling (Control Hub) currently does not fully support per-line ringtone or call alert suppression on the mobile app (iOS/Android) — only the desktop app respects those individual line ringtone settings.
Ringtone settings for shared lines (Line 2 & 3) in the desktop app can be configured to "Off" — and it works there.
However, on the Webex mobile app, these shared line settings are not honored consistently — all assigned lines may ring unless otherwise controlled centrally (from Control Hub or via workarounds).
This is the most effective method.
If the user doesn’t need to answer shared lines from mobile, you can:
Go to Control Hub > Users > [User] > Calling > Client Settings
Under Shared Line Appearance, unassign those shared lines from the mobile device profile or Webex app assignment.
Result: The shared lines will no longer appear or ring on the mobile app, but will remain active on the desktop app or MPP phone.
Not ideal, but if the shared lines must appear on mobile:
Set the ringtone for those lines to a silent ringtone using a custom sound file on the iPhone.
This is a user-side iOS trick and not a Webex-native setting.

Option #1 sounds like the best option to me, but unfortunately, I'm not seeing a section under the Calling tab called "Client Settings". Under Calling, I only see the following sections:
- Numbers
- Voicemail, fax, announcement language and timezone
- Music on Hold
- Call handling
- Between-user permissions
- User call experience
- Agent Settings
- Hide Calling Settings
Is there another setting somewhere that enables the "Client Settings" section? Have these options moved to a different location in the Control Hub?
