Creating or Modifying a User Profile

You can add or modify a user profile if Resource Manager uses its own database for storing user profiles.

If your organization is synchronized with an external directory server to provision users, you can only modify the settings stored in Resource Manager, such as virtual room, default terminals, allowed meeting types, groups, and time zone.

You can modify user passwords, e-mail, telephone and time zone settings at Users > My Profile if those settings are not stored in the external directory server.

Note Before configuring user profiles, set default settings for each user type at Advanced Settings > Default User Settings.

Procedure

Step 1 Click User Management in the sidebar menu.

Step 2 Click Users.

Step 3 Click the link in the Name column for the user you require, or click Add to create a new user profile.

Step 4 Enter the user ID and last name in the relevant fields.

Step 5 (Optional) Enter the first name, e-mail address and password for the user in the relevant fields, and confirm the password.

Step 6 (Optional) Click Virtual Room Setting to add or modify virtual room settings for the user.

Step 8 Select a user type and enter telephone numbers in the relevant fields.

Step 9 Click Select Terminal to assign a default terminal to this user.

Step 10 Click Select next to the Allowed Meeting Types field to restrict this user to a subset of all available meeting types.

By default, all active meeting types are allowed.

Step 11 From the Groups list, select the group to which this user belongs.

Step 12 Select a default time zone.

Local time zones are used by default at User > My Meetings and User > All Meetings.

Step 13 Click OK to save your changes.

The user profile is saved and Resource Manager sends the user a notification e-mail containing login access information.
