Groups

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

Note: Enterprise vs. Local Users

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 RealPresence 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 RealPresence 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.

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 185.
	Note: A class of service may also be assigned to a user (see Users on
	page 303) or an endpoint (see Endpoints on page 91).
	Note: When a device calls a conference room (VMR), the class of service of
	the conference room applies to the call, not the class of service of the user or
	device.
