User Roles Overview

The Polycom DMA system has four user roles, or classes of users, each with its own set of permissions. Every user account has one or more user roles (but only three of the four roles must be explicitly assigned).

The following table briefly describes the user roles. See “Polycom DMA System User Roles and Their Access Privileges” on page 11 for detailed information on which commands are available to each user role.

Role	Description
Administrator	Responsible for the overall administration of the system.
	Can access all the pages except those reserved for auditors

	enterprise users, and groups).
	If you have a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager
	system, assign this role to its login account. If API access for
	other clients is enabled, assign this role to the login account of
	any other API client that should have administrative rights and
	responsibilities.
	This role must be explicitly assigned by an Administrator.

	retention, and for managing logs. Can access all history
	reports.
	This role must be explicitly assigned by an Administrator.

	accounts.

	Conferencing User, but can view all local users. Must be an
	enterprise user to view all enterprise users. Can view history
	reports.

	system or any other API client, assign this role its users who

Conferencing	Can use the system’s ad hoc conferencing features (and
User	typically has been provisioned with a virtual conference room).
	Cannot access any system management interfaces.
	This role is automatically present on all user accounts. It isn’t

	subcategory of Conferencing User, the Conference Room
	Owner, who can monitor and control his or her conferences.
