Self Care Portal Management

Self Care Portal Overview

From the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal, users can customize and control phone features and settings. For information about the Self Care Portal, see the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal User Guide located at http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​c/​en/​us/​support/​unified-communications/​unified-communications-manager-callmanager/​products-user-guide-list.html.

As the administrator, you control access to the Self Care Portal. You must also provide information to your users so that they can access the Self Care Portal.

Before a user can access the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal, you must use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to add the user to a standard Cisco Unified Communications Manager End User group.

You must provide end users with the following information about the Self Care Portal:

  • The URL to access the application. This URL is:

    http://<server_name:portnumber>/ucmuser/, where server_name is the host on which the web server is installed and portnumber is the port number on that host.

  • A user ID and default password to access the application.

  • An overview of the tasks that users can accomplish with the portal.

These settings correspond to the values that you entered when you added the user to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

  • Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, "Access Control Group Setup" chapter

  • Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, "End User Setup" chapter
