Groups

Groups functionality is available only if your Polycom DMA system is integrated with an Active Directory. User groups are defined in your Active Directory and imported into the Polycom DMA system from there.

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.

Microsoft Active Directory provides two group types and four group scopes. The Polycom DMA system supports only security groups (not distribution groups) with universal or global scope.

The Groups page provides access to information about enterprise groups.

From it, you can:

•Import enterprise groups.

•Specify Polycom DMA system roles to be assigned to members of a group.

•Specify a conference template and MCU pool order to be used for a group. The following table describes the fields on the Groups page.

Table 12-10Fields on the Groups page

Field	Description
Group Name	Name of the group, as defined in the Active Directory.
Description	Description from the Active Directory.
Domain	Name of the domain to which the group belongs.
Class of service	Class of service assigned to the group, which
	determines the priority of the group’s calls.
	If none, the group receives the system’s default class of
	service. See “Conference Settings” on page 193.
	Note: A class of service may also be assigned to a user
	(see “Users” on page 314) or an endpoint (see
	“Endpoints” on page 91).
Conference Template	Template assigned to the group, if any, which defines
	the conference properties (or links to the RMX profile)
	used for its conferences. See “Conference Templates”
	on page 195.
	The template assignment can be made at the
	conference room level, AD group level, or system
	default level.
