Enabling Access to User Settings

User settings allow users to control some aspects of cameras and meetings, for example, allowing other
people in a call to control your camera or whether to enable auto answer for point-to-point or multipoint calls.
To enable access to User settings:
1 Do one of the following:
 In the local interface, go to Settings > Administration > Security > Settings.
 In the web interface, go to Admin Settings > Security > Global Security > Access.
2 Enable the Allow Access to User Settings setting.

Restricting Access to User and Administrative Settings

You can restrict access to User Settings and Administration settings, making them available only through
the web interface.

the Show Icons on the Home Screen setting.
