Role Configuration
Roles allow Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrators who have full administration
privilege (access) to configure end users and application users with d ifferent levels of privilege.
Administrators with full administration privilege configure roles and user groups. In general, full-access
administration users configure the privilege of other administration users and end users to Ci sco Unified
Communications Manager Administration and to other applications.
Different levels of privilege exist for each application. For the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration application, two levels of privilege exist: read privilege and update privilege. These
privilege levels differ as follows:
• Users with update privilege can view and modify the Cisco Unified Communicati ons Man ag er
Administration windows to which the user group of the user has up date privilege.
• A user with read privilege can view the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
windows that belong to the roles to which the user group of the u ser has read privilege. A user with
read privilege for a window cannot, however, make any changes on those administration windows
to which the user has only read privilege. For a user with read privilege, the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration application does not display any u pda te buttons nor
icons.
Roles comprise groups of resources for an application. At installation, default standa rd roles get created
for various administrative functions. You may, however, create custom roles that comprise custom
groupings of resources for an application.
Note Certain standard roles have no associated application nor resour ce . Th ese role s provid e login
authentication for various applications.
