A unified communication server or Client Application Server (CAS) comprises a client communication module, a status determination module, an operation determination module, an object manager, and a permissions module. The CAS enables communication between a client device and a plurality of communication services. The CAS receives requests for services from the client devices. The CAS interacts with a plurality of service providers offering different functionality and responds to requests or provides listings of available services in a unified manner despite the service offerings and service providers being disparate. The present invention also includes a number of methods including a method for operating a unified communication server, a method for generating a list of possible operations, a method for determining the status of a user and a method for determining permissions of a user.
