Problem

When you attempt to access the System Administrator (SA) page, you may receive an error that states that the administrator account is not associated with the Cisco Unity subscriber.

Solution

To gain appropriate rights to access the SA page, you must run the GrantUnityAccess utility. This tool is located at C:\commserver\grantunityaccess.exe.

If you run this utility with no options, the instructions should display. The normal use of this tool is to provide the domain/alias of the account which is to have access to the SA, and then from which account to copy those rights.

For example, if the alias of the user you want to give administration rights to is TempAdministrator and your domain name is MyDOMAIN, use the GrantUnityAccess -u MyDOMAIN\TempAdministrator -s Installer command at the DOS prompt:

The installer account is a special account that always has administration rights but is not created in the directory. It is local to the SQL database only.

This screen shot shows the other options available for the GrantUnityAccess utility.

For more information about the GrantUnityAccess utility using Cisco Unity 3.1, refer to Granting Administrative Rights to Other Cisco Unity Servers.

For more information about the GrantUnityAccess utility using Cisco Unity 4.0, refer to Granting Administrative Rights to Other Cisco Unity Servers.
