Users are not allowed to delete or change the address of their principal devices. This is to stop users from
unintentionally changing their basic FindMe configuration.
Principal devices are also used by the VCS to decide which FindMe ID to display as a Caller ID if the same
device address is associated with more than one FindMe ID. Only an administrator (and not users
themselves) can configure which of a user's devices are their principal devices. See
accounts
for more information (if TMS Agent legacy mode is in use).

FindMe process overview

When the VCS receives a call for a particular alias it applies its User Policy as follows:
It first checks to see if FindMe is enabled. If so, it checks if the alias is a FindMe ID, and, if it is, the call is
n
forwarded to the aliases associated with the active location for that user's FindMe configuration.
If FindMe is not enabled, or the alias is not a FindMe ID, the VCS continues to search for the alias in the
n
usual manner.
Note that User Policy is invoked after any Call Policy configured on the VCS has been applied. See
routing process
for more information.

Recommendations when deploying FindMe

The FindMe ID should be in the form of a URI, and should be the individual's primary URI.
n
Endpoints should not register with an alias that is the same as an existing FindMe ID. You can prevent this
n
by including all FindMe IDs on the Deny List.
Example
Users at Example Corp. have a FindMe ID in the format john.smith@example.com. Each of the user's
endpoints are registered with a slightly different alias that identifies its physical location. For example their
office endpoint is registered with an alias in the format john.smith.office@example.com and their
home endpoint as john.smith.home@example.com.
Both of these endpoints are included in the list of devices to ring when the FindMe ID is dialed. The alias
john.smith@example.com is added to the Deny List, to prevent an individual endpoint registering with
that alias.
Note: FindMe is supported by clustering. For information about how FindMe information is managed across
peers in a cluster, see the
