Adding Users to Cisco Unified Communications Manager

•The user must subscribe to services using the Cisco Unified CM User Options application. This web-based application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for limited, end-user configuration of IP Phone applications.

Before you set up services, gather the URLs for the sites you want to set up and verify that users can access those sites from your corporate IP telephony network.

To set up these services, choose Device > Device Settings > Phone Services from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. For more information, see the Cisco

Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, Cisco Unified IP Phone Services Configuration, and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide, Cisco Unified IP Phone Services.

After you configure these services, verify that your users have access to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager User Options web-based application, from which they can select and subscribe to configured services. See the “How Users Subscribe to Services and Configure Phone Features” section on page A-2for a summary of the information that you must provide to end users.

Note To configure Cisco Extension Mobility services for users, go to the Cisco Unified Mobility” chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.
