Enterprise Groups Procedures

The Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s ability to import an enterprise group and assign it a conference template lets you customize the conferencing experience for all members of the group.

The ability to assign defined Polycom RealPresence DMA user roles to an enterprise group lets you manage administrative access to the Polycom RealPresence DMA system in your Active Directory.

You must be logged into the system as an enterprise user with the Administrator role to perform these procedures.

To set up an enterprise group for Polycom RealPresence DMA management and operations users

1In your Active Directory, create a security group containing the users to whom you want to give access to the Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s management and operations interface.

It’s up to you whether you want to assign all the user roles to a single group or create separate groups for each user role.

2On the Polycom RealPresence DMA system, go to User > Groups.

3In the Actions list, click Import Enterprise Groups.

4In the Import Enterprise Groups dialog box, use Search to find the system administration group you created. Then move it to the Groups to import box and click OK. See Import Enterprise Groups Dialog Box on page 326.

5On the Groups page, select your new group and, in the Actions list, click Edit.

6In the Edit Group dialog box, move the user roles you want to give members of this group to the Selected roles box. See Edit Group Dialog Box on page 327.

7Click OK.

All members of this group will now share the system access privileges you assigned to the group.
