Address Book Considerations for Multi-Tenancy
If you have enabled the Areas feature, you can only associate users and
endpoints that are in the same area that you have been assigned to manage.
Users not assigned the Administrator or Area Administrator role will not be
aware of address books or be allowed to edit them. They will see only those
users (local and enterprise directory), endpoints, rooms, groups, and guests in
the same address book and area to which the user is assigned.
When you manage more than one area, you can create address books that
contain users and endpoints from each area that you manage. However, users
in that address book will only be able to view users from the area to which they
also belong.
For more information about multi-tenancy, see “Configuring Multi-Tenancy”
on page 493.
View the Address Book List and Details
To view the address book list and details
1 Go to Admin > Directories > Address Books.
The Address Book list appears, with details of the selected address book
in the right pane.
Column Description
Priority The priority affects which address book a user sees. For
example, if a user is a member of two different groups
and each group is assigned a different address book,
the user will see the address book that is higher in
priority.
Address Books Name of the address book.
Description A brief description of the address book.
Area This column is only available when areas have been
enabled and indicates the area to which the address
book belongs.
You can view this column if you have the administrator
role or have the area administrator role and manage
more than one area. If the address book belongs to an
area that you do not manage, the area name will be
listed as “Restricted” as you do not have permission to
view that area.
