You can add users to the system in two ways:
• Add users manually to the Polycom DMA system. These are known as
local users. When adding users manually, you must assign them
conference rooms and any specific roles they should have.
• Integrate the Polycom DMA system with an enterprise directory (requires
Administrator permissions). This integration allows users with specific
roles (Administrator, Auditor, or Provisioner) to log into the Polycom
DMA system with their enterprise directory user names and passwords.
When a Polycom DMA system is integrated with an enterprise directory,
the enterprise directory users are automatically added as Polycom DMA
system users with a Conferencing User role and displayed in the Polycom
DMA system Users list. An administrator can assign them additional roles
as required.
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.
A newly installed system has a single local user account, admin. We strongly
recommend that, as part of initial system setup, you create a local user account
for yourself with the Administrator role, log in using that account, and delete
the admin user account. See the caution and first procedure in
Procedures" on page 141.
You can then create other local user accounts or integrate with an enterprise
directory and assign additional roles to the appropriate enterprise users.
Integration with an enterprise directory is described in
on page 101.
