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 page 24 for detailed information on which commands are available to each user role.
