user account data; in this case, user accounts are maintained through TMS.
User accounts are used by individuals in an enterprise to configure the devices and locations on which they
can be contacted through their FindMe ID. Each user account is accessed using a username and password.

Usage tips
If remote authentication
the VCS must match the username set up in the remote
directory service.
The Display name is used in phone books and as the caller
display name in SIP calls.
To allow call return, this number could be configured to route
to the associated FindMe ID by mapping incoming numbers
to the FindMe ID using ENUM, search rules or CPL. See
FindMe deployment guide
The FindMe ID can be any string of up to 60 characters.
However, not all endpoints are able to dial aliases with
spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters so it is
recommended that these are not used in your FindMe IDs.
After the account has been created any non-principal
devices (including any devices added by FindMe users
themselves) can be set as principal devices. This has the
effect of stopping the user from being able to delete that
device. To do this, click
