DMA OperationsGuide Users
314 Polycom, Inc.
A newly installed system has a single local user account, admin. We strongly
recommend that, as part of initial system setup, you create a local user account
for yourself with the Administrator role, log in using that account, and delete
the admin user account. See the caution and first procedure in “Users
Procedures” on page 333.
You can then create other local user accounts or integrate with an Active
Directory and assign additional roles to the appropriate enterprise users.
Integration with an Active Directory is described in “Microsoft Active
Directory Integration” on page163.
If you have a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager that you want to
integrate with the Polycom DMA system, you must create a local user account
for the RealPresence Resource Manager system, which enables it to log into the
DMA system’s RealPresence Platform API. This account should have
administrator and provisioner roles.
The RealPresence Resource Manager user owns the conference rooms (VMRs)
it creates for preset dial-out conferences (called Anytime conferences in the
RealPresence Resource Manager system).
