User Roles Overview

The Polycom RealPresence 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 RealPresence DMA System User Roles
and Their Access Privileges on page24 for detailed information on which commands are available to each
user role.

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.

logs. Can access all history reports.
This role must be explicitly assigned by an Administrator.
