Working with Groups Understanding Users, Groups, and Roles
Polycom, Inc. 331
Assign Roles to Enterprise Users
You must decide which users will have management roles. Users with
management roles can perform tasks on the RealPresence Resource Manager
system, such as device management or conference scheduling. Management
roles can be system-wide or area-restricted. A user must be assigned a
management role in order to access the management system interface.
Conference participant users can be scheduled into conferences do not need to
be assigned a management role, unless that particular user also needs to
perform system management tasks.
If your company has implemented the Areas feature, you can also associate
enterprise users with areas for which you are an administrator. For more
information about areas, see “Managing Areas” on page 505 or “Configuring
Multi-Tenancy” on page 493.
If you want the RealPresence Resource Manager system to, by default, to
automatically assign enterprise users the basic Scheduler role, you must
change the appropriate system Security Settings. See “Give Enterprise Users
Default Scheduler Role” on page 537.
Working with Groups
Groups provide a more efficient and consistent use of the RealPresence
Resource Manager system, because they allow you to assign roles and
provisioning profiles to sets of users rather than to individual users.
This section includes the following topics:
• “Local Groups” on page 331
• “Enterprise Groups” on page 331
Local Groups
The RealPresence Resource Manager system allows you to add local groups
(that is, groups added manually to the system) and associate them with
provisioning profiles, roles and address books.
For local groups, the RealPresence Resource Manager system manages all
group information and associations.
Enterprise Groups
When the RealPresence Resource Manager system is integrated with an
enterprise directory, groups defined to the enterprise directory are not
automatically added to the RealPresence Resource Manager system, but you
can import them into the system.
