Caution

If you have a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager system (or another API client) that connects to the DMA system’s RealPresence Platform API, be aware that authorized users of that system (or other API client) can add local users, edit passcodes, add and edit conference rooms (VMRs), and view information about users and conference rooms. (Ordinary Conferencing Users can only access their own user information and the conference rooms they own.)

In particular, the RealPresence Resource Manager system itself has a user login (see “Adding Users Overview” on page 313), and it owns the conference rooms created in its scheduling interface for preset dial-out conferences (referred to as Anytime conferences the RealPresence Resource Manager system).

The search pane above the list lets you find users matching the criteria you specify. Click the down arrow on the right to expand the search pane, providing access to more search fields and filters.

The system matches any string you enter against the beginning of the value for which you’re searching. For the Search users field at the top, it matches against user ID, first name, and last name. For instance, if you enter “sa” in the Search users field, it displays the users whose user ID, first name, or last name begins with “sa.”

To search for a string not at the beginning of the field, you can use an asterisk

(*)as a wildcard. You can restrict the search to local users by selecting the check box.

The users that match your search criteria (up to 500) are listed below.

Note

The DMA system’s user database is unsorted. To avoid performance issues, if your query matches more than 4000 users, no attempt is made to sort the results on the server side before returning the first 500 matching records. The system simply returns the first 500 found in the database.

In any case, there is no way to retrieve the next 500. To see all the users that match your search criteria, narrow your criteria so that no more than 500 users match.

The following table describes the parts of the Users list.
