User's Manual

Users and Groups Overview
Polycom, Inc. 253
Some important notes about user roles and permissions:
• Users (local and enterprise) may be assigned more than one role. In this
case, the permissions associated with those roles are cumulative; a user
has all of the permissions assigned to all of his roles.
• Users (local and enterprise) may be assigned roles as an individual and as
part of a group. Again, the permissions associated with those roles are
cumulative; a user has all of the permissions assigned to all of his roles no
matter how that role is assigned.
• Users assigned a role with any one of the Administrator Permissions are
generally referred to as administrators. Users assigned a role with any one
of the Operator Permissions and none of the Administrator Permissions
are referred to as Operators. Users assigned a user role with Scheduler
Permissions and none of the Administrator or Operator Permissions are
referred to as Schedulers.
Default CMA System Roles and Permissions
The CMA system includes a default set of roles. Roles are associated with a set
of permissions. Roles and permissions define the menus, pages, and functions
that the system displays. So users see only the menus, pages, and functions
associated with their roles.
The following table identifies the default roles. Each of these roles is discussed
in more detail in the following sections.
Note
The role names are stored in the system database and are not localized into other
languages. If you wish to localized the role names into your language, edit the roles
and enter new names for them.
