Useradministration

From this page you can manage the user accounts of your
video conference system. You can create new user accounts,
edit the details of existing users, and delete users.

Thedefaultuseraccount

The system comes with a default administrator user account
with username admin and no password set. The admin user
has full access rights, and itishighlyrecommendedtoseta
passwordforthisuser.
Read more about passwords in the Password protection
chapter.

Aboutuserroles

A user account must hold one or a combination of several
userroles. Three user roles exist, representing different
rights:
• ADMIN: A user holding this role can create new users and
change all settings, except the security audit settings. He
cannot upload audit certificates.
• USER: A user holding this role can make calls and search
the phonebook.
• AUDIT: A user holding this role can change the security
audit configurations and upload audit certificates.
It is important to note that these three roles have non-
overlappingrights.
An administrator user account with full access rights, like the
default admin user, must possess all the three roles.

Securitymode

You can enable/disable the strong security mode from this
page.
Strong security mode sets very strict password requirements,
and requires all users to change their password on next sign
in.
Software upload from TMS, web snapshots and making calls
from the web interface are prohibited in strong security mode.
The system comes with
admin as the default
user account. This user
has full access rights.
