Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

When integrated with an enterprise directory, this local administrator can perform the following user management functions:

•Integrate the CMA system with Active Directory. Note that when you integrate the CMA system with an Active Directory, all local users other than the default local administrator are removed from the system.

•Edit a subset of enterprise user attributes, such as their role, area, or endpoint associations. This allows the local administrator to assign the Administrator role to enterprise users.

•Troubleshoot and administrate the system if the Active Directory connection to the system is lost.

When not integrated with an enterprise directory, this local administrator can perform the following user management functions:

•Add and edit local user attributes including their contact information and other user attributes such as their role, area, or endpoint associations.

•Delete local users.

Note

As a best practice, use this local administrator account for user management tasks on the CMA system. Do not use it to log into managed devices.

The user management workflow on a CMA system operating in maximum security mode has changed in the following ways:

•Once integrated with an enterprise directory, the local administrator can see enterprise users as well as associate them to endpoints, roles, and areas (when applicable).

•Administrators cannot create custom roles with a custom set of permissions. The system has only pre-defined roles and associated permissions as described in “Default CMA System Roles and Permissions” on page 253.

The system changes required to support this workflow change are:

—The User Roles page and the ACTIONS associated with it are not available.

—The ACTIONS on the User > Users page includes an additional command, so that you can view the permissions that come with the role a user has been assigned.
