Creating Groups

To create a group on the Mobility Router, configure general settings, security settings, remote access

and calling rules before adding users.

Configuring General Settings

To configure general group settings:

1. Select Configuration > Groups and Users > Groups. The Groups page displays.

2. Click Add. The Add Group page displays, with the General tab active.

3. In the Name field, type the name of the group. The group name can be up to 50 characters long

and cannot contain special characters except for spaces, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).

4. In the IP-PBX list, select the IP-PBX that supports the group. If you have not previously added an

IP-PBX, click Add. The Add IP-PBX page displays. For information about adding an IP-PBX, see

“Adding an IP-PBX” on page 119. After you have added the IP-PBX, the Add Group page

displays so that you can continue adding the group.

5. Select a Directory Search Group, or create a new group by clicking Add. This is the company

directory by which the Mobility Router will search for an individual.

6. In the Access Numbers list, select the access number that users in this group use to access

Mobility Router services. If you have not previously added an access number, click Add. The Add

Access Numbers page displays. For information about adding an access number, see “Adding

Access Numbers” on page 154. After you have added the access number, the Add Group page

displays so that you can continue adding the group.

7. Do one of the following:

 If you are not using an LDAP or Active Directory server for authorization for users in your

network, make sure that the External Group Authorization check box is not selected. Go to

Step step 3.

 If you are using an LDAP or Active Directory server for authorization, go to Step step 8.

By default, the External User Authorization check box is not selected. Select this option to

enable external group authorization during provisioning. The LDAP forest select for authentication

is used for authorization.

8. To map the Mobility Router group to an LDAP or Active Directory group, select External Group

Authorization.

After you select the External Group Authorization check box, the Active Directory/LDAP Groups

options appear:

Note

Mapping to an LDAP group authorizes all the users in the group to be Mobility Router users.
