The left panel of the Administration interface contains
drawers.
Drawers are similar to menus: they group logically-related functions.
Clicking (opening) a drawer in the left panel might immediately open a page in
the right panel or it might expand to show a list or tree of nested links.

There is a Help icon on each page.
Clicking Help opens a new window with a topic relevant to the window you
are on.
From a help topic, click the Navigation icon

that column.
Title Bar
The title bar is
visible from each window and has the following:
A
Cisco Systems logo that links to http://www.cisco.com/.
A
Navigation dropdown, where you can open Disaster Recovery System, Cisco Unified
OS Administration, and Cisco Unified Serviceability.
A
Log Out link.
The About

Licenses
Unified Intelligence Center
licenses are "node-locked." This means a license is physically located on the
Controller node and is distributed to all members nodes in the cluster through
database replication.
There can be only one license installed on a
system at any point in time.
Uploading the license file is the
first action the Super User must take after installing the Controller
node.
After installation, until the Super User obtains
and uploads a Standard or Premium license, he or she:
Can sign-in to the Operations Console to view the Controller and to add
the alias name.
Cannot perform other Operations Console
functions.
Cannot sign-in to the Unified Intelligence Center Reporting
application.
Scroll to Voice Products and click Cisco Unified
Intelligence Center - v8.0.
Step 4
Enter your
MACAddress, accept the agreement, and enter your Registrant
Information.
Step 5
Follow prompts to complete the registration
pages.
What to Do Next
You will receive the license file in an email from
Cisco Systems. When you receive it, save it locally in a location where it
cannot be deleted by mistake or opened by an unauthorized person. In the event
that your system becomes corrupted, you can browse to this location to upload
the license file again.
The same license file will be valid if you
need to reapply it, unless you apply it to a new server with a new MAC
address.
Caution
License files are easily readable and can be opened.
However, changing any text in the license file invalidates the
license.
Locating the MAC Address
You must supply the MAC address of the Controller node when you apply for a license to operate Unified IC.
The MAC Address appears online at the end of the installation. If you do not have time to write it down, you can find it through the Command Line Interface, once the install is complete, as follows:
Procedure
Step 1
Sign in, using the credentials of the System Administration user.
Step 2
Enter this CLI Command: show status.
How to Upload the License
Upload the license in the Unified IC Administration interface.
To do this, select Cluster Configuration > License Management. Refer to the online help for instructions.

Users in the Administration Console
There are three user
accounts that have access to the Administration console:
This user role is defined in
the Administration console. It is the only user role for Administration.
The initial and default Super User is the
System Application User who is configured during installation.
The
initial Super User (the System Application User) can sign in to the Unified Intelligence Center
Reporting console and has all User Roles and
full permissions for all drawers in Unified Intelligence Center Reporting.
Those credentials cannot be removed from the initial Super User.
Additional Super Users who are added in the Administration Console can
also sign in to Unified Intelligence Center Reporting and are considered to be
IMS users. They have the limited Login User
role only until the Unified Intelligence Center Reporting security administrator gives them
additional roles and flags them as Active users.
System Application User
This
user role is defined during installation. Although it is possible to define
unique application user names and passwords during the installation of each
node, it is a best practice to use the same credentials for all
installations.
The application user defined during the
installation of the Controller is the only System
Application User recognized by Unified Intelligence Center.
This user
has full rights to all functions in the Administration and Unified Intelligence Center Reporting
applications, as described below:
Can log in to the
Administration application and becomes the initial Super User for Administration.
Can create additional Super Users in the Administration
application.
Can sign in to Unified IC and has full
rights to all functions in Unified Intelligence Center.
Is the initial
Security Administrator user in the Unified Intelligence Center Reporting application.
Can create additional Security Administrator users in the Unified Intelligence Center
Reporting application.
Cannot have any role taken away
from them.
Cannot take any role away from
himself.
This user can log in to the Reporting
application and is the initial System user.
System Administration User
The System Administrator account User
ID and password are configured at installation for each node. It is a best
practice to enter the same user name and password for all nodes.
The System Administrator for the Controller
can access:
The Cisco Systems tools on the
Navigation drop-down menu in the Administration console: Disaster Recovery System,
Cisco Unified Serviceability, and Cisco Unified OS Administration
interfaces.
The
CLI for the Controller.
The System Administrator has no access to functions in
the Unified Intelligence Center Reporting application.
Note
If you configure unique
System Administrator credentials for Member nodes, use those credentials to
access the CLI for those Member
servers.
