Configure Areas Configuring Multi-Tenancy
Polycom, Inc. 499
As a best practice, when you create a conference template, give it an
area-specific name. This is especially helpful if you allow an area scheduler to
scheduler conferences for more than one area.
When a scheduler (area or system) schedules a conference, he is required to
use a conference template from the same area as the conference area or a
template that is assigned to no area (common pool).
Configure Areas
You must configure your system for areas. Most of the configuration tasks can
be completed by a user with the administrator role or area administrator role.
However, network devices must be added by a user with the device
administrator role.
You need to enable your system for areas and then add an area for each tenant
that will use your system.
1 Enable the areas feature.
2 Add the areas that you want to use.
3 Customize the logos for each area, if desired.
4 Add network devices to areas. This task must be done by a user who has
the device administrator role.
5 Import users into each area.
This step is necessary if you need to support users who do not reside in
your single LDAP directory. RealPresence Resource Manager system does
not support integration with multiple LDAP directories.
6 Assign roles to area users. By default, area users all have the area
scheduler role. You need to determine which, if any, of the area users will
be given the area administrator or area operator roles.
7 Designate which users will manage each area.
Users must be allowed to manage an area in order to perform the tasks
associated with their area role. You can allow users to manage one area, no
area, multiple areas (including areas to which they do not belong).
8 Add resources to areas. This task can be done by the Resource Manager
system administrator, or a user with the area administrator who is also
allowed to manage the area to which he is adding endpoints/rooms.
9 Add conference templates to areas. This task needs to be done by a user
with the administrator role.
10 Configure site topology.
