Multiple Address Books Overview
Users assigned the Administrator role can create multiple address books in
the CMA system. Multiple address books are subsets of the Global Address
Book (GAB) and let you manage which users (local and enterprise), endpoints,
rooms, groups, and guests appear in each address book.
Multiple address books support both the GAB and LDAP protocols. Endpoints
requesting directory information using either protocol receive either the
default address book or the address book assigned to the user’s group.
If you do not want to use multiple address books, you can leave the default
address book set to All Entries. Using this default, all users will see all entries
in the directory. Be sure that all groups are assigned either the System Default
or All Entries option. System Default is the default group setting.
