Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

Create Area Administrator Role

As a best practice, create an area administrator role to separate CMA system administration from area administration.

To create an area administrator role

1Go to User > User Roles.

2On the User Roles page, click Add.

3Complete the Name and Description fields of the Add Role dialog box and assign the desired permissions to the new role. At a minimum, add Associate Devices to Area permission to this role.

4Click Save.

The new user role appears in the CMA system.

Enable, Configure, and Customize Areas

Before you can use areas, you must enable areas for endpoints and network devices. You can also change the term Area used in the CMA system interface to fit your use of areas.

To enable, configure, and customize the Areas function

1Go to Admin > Areas and on the Areas page click Configure Areas.

2In the Configure Areas dialog box, click Enable Areas for endpoints and network devices.

3(Optional) To use a different term for the Areas function that is more meaningful to your business, enter the Singular and Plural term in the appropriate field. For example, Agency or Department.

Note

This configuration change will not take place until you restart the CMA system.

4Click Save Configuration.

5If you changed the Area term, go to Admin > Dashboard and click Restart to restart the CMA system.

After the system restarts, the Areas function will be renamed and enabled. By default, the CMA system maintains an All area, to which you, as the enabler of the function are assigned.
