Adding Users Overview Users and Groups

If your system is integrated with an Active Directory, all enterprise users are automatically Conferencing Users. You can use enterprise groups to manage assignment of the other user roles. See “Enterprise Groups Procedures” on page 342.

Note

You must be an enterprise user (with the appropriate user role assignments) to see and work with enterprise users. A local user can only see other local users, regardless of user roles.

Adding Users Overview

You can add users to the system in two ways:

•Add users manually to the Polycom DMA system. These are known as local users. When adding users manually, you must assign them conference rooms and any specific roles they should have.

•Integrate the Polycom DMA system with Microsoft Active Directory (requires Administrator permissions). This integration allows users with specific roles (Administrator, Auditor, or Provisioner) to log into the Polycom DMA system with their Active Directory user names and passwords.

When a Polycom DMA system is integrated with an Active Directory, the Active Directory users are automatically added as Polycom DMA system users with a Conferencing User role and displayed in the Polycom DMA system Users list. An administrator can assign them additional roles as required.

Note

You must be an enterprise user (with the appropriate user role assignments) to see and work with enterprise users. A local user can only see other local users, regardless of user roles.
