System User Types; Administrator; Administrator Read-Only - Polycom RealPresence 1800 Administration Manual

System User Types

RealPresence Collaboration Server users are identified by their role and associated authorization level,
which determines a user's capabilities within the system. The RealPresence Collaboration Server supports
the following user authorization levels:
● Administrator
● Operator
● Administrator Read-only
● Chairperson
● Auditor
Note that conference participants are not considered "users" of the RealPresence Collaboration Server as
they never access the MCU user interface. However, conference participant information can be stored in the
RealPresence Collaboration Server Address Book for scheduling and management purposes.
Machine Accounts
User names can be associated with servers (machines) to ensure that all users are subject to the
same account and password policies, but these are not considered a user type. For more details,
see Defining a Machine Account.

Administrator

A RealPresence Collaboration Server system administrator can define and delete other users and perform
all system configuration and maintenance tasks.
The RealPresence Collaboration Server, by default, ships with a single pre-defined administrator account
which provides initial system access. This administrator account is:
● User name: SA_PLCM_Integration
● Password: Polycom_CS
Upon initial login, the RealPresence Collaboration Server displays an active alarm indicating the existence
of this SA_PLCM_Integration default user.
The RealPresence ® Distributed Media Application™ (DMA
administrator account as well, thus allowing the RealPresence DMA system to log into the RealPresence
Collaboration Server. However, for security reasons, Polycom strongly recommends immediately setting up
a new administrator account on both the RealPresence Collaboration Server and the RealPresence DMA
system and deleting the default administrator account.

Administrator Read-only

A user with Administrator Read-only permissions has the same viewing and monitoring permissions of an
administrator. However, this user is limited to creating system backups and cannot perform any other
configuration or conference related operation.
