Overview of Groups, Users, and User Roles
The CMA system allows users assigned the Administrator role to manage
users, groups, user roles, permissions, and areas (if applicable).
Most often, a CMA system is integrated with an enterprise directory from
which users are imported. However, the CMA system also allows
administrators to add local users (that is, users added manually to the system)
and associate them with endpoints, groups, and roles.
Users
Local Users
When you manually add local users, the CMA system manages all user
information and associations.
At a minimum, when you manually add users, you must enter a user’s First
Name or Last Name, User ID, and Password. When you enter the minimum
information, the CMA system automatically assigns local users the basic
Scheduler role, unless you remove that assignment. They can then schedule
conferences, be scheduled into conferences, and call into conferences.
However, the system cannot call out to them until they are associated with
endpoints.
