Configuring User Groups - Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Administrator's Manual

Multiple VCS clusters
If you are part of a large enterprise with, for example, TMS managing several VCS clusters, the
database may contain details of users and devices in other VCS clusters. Different clusters are
distinguished by their Cluster name. You cannot modify the details of accounts that are not managed
in your cluster.
Configuring a user's principal devices
The Edit principal devices page
View/Edit or the username to open the Edit user account page, and then click Edit principal
devices) is used to configure which of the user's devices are their principal devices associated with
their FindMe ID.
Users are not allowed to delete or change the address of their principal devices; they can only change
the Device name. This is to stop users from unintentionally changing their basic FindMe
configuration. Principal devices are also used by the VCS to decide which FindMe name to display as
a Caller ID if the same device address is associated with more than one account.
The page lists all of the devices currently associated with the selected user. The Principal device
column indicates each device's current status as a principal device or not.
To set devices as a principal device, select the box next to the required devices and click Set as
n
principal device.
To set devices so they are no longer principal devices, select the required devices and click Unset
n
as principal device.
Note that only an administrator (and not users themselves) can configure which of a user's devices are
their principal devices.

Configuring user groups

The User groups page
that have been configured on the VCS, and lets you add, edit and delete groups.
Note: user groups are only active when
User groups determine which access rights members of the group have after they have been
successfully authenticated to use the VCS.
When a user logs in to the VCS their credentials are authenticated against the remote directory service
and they are assigned the access rights associated with the group to which that user belongs. If the
user account belongs to more than one group, the highest level permission is assigned.
The configurable options are:
Field Description
Name The name of the user group.
It cannot contain any of the
following characters:
