The Groups page provides access to information about enterprise groups. 
From it, you can: 
•Import enterprise groups. 
•Specify Polycom 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. 
Note 
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 DMA system supports only security groups (not distribution groups) with 
universal or global scope.
