Enable Areas
In order to enable areas for the RealPresence Resource Manager system, login
to the system with a user who has the administrator role.
Users will need to log out and log back in to the RealPresence Resource
Manager system in order for them to view any changes.
To enable the areas feature
1 Go to Admin > Areas.
2 From the list of Actions, select Configure Areas.
3 In the Configure Areas dialog box, ensure that the Enable Areas
functions in Resource Manager box is checked.
4 Optionally, choose a name in which to refer to areas. For example, you
can rename Area and Areas to Tenant and Tenants.
5 Click Save Configuration.
Create Areas for Tenants
For each new tenant, do the following:
1 Create a new area for the new tenant.
2 Give the area a name that appropriately identifies the tenant.
3 Create a user that will manage this area. You can do either of the
following (or both).
— Add at least one user to the tenant area who has the Area
Administrator role and is set up to manage the area. That person can
then manage their area themselves, including adding other users to
manage the area and its resources.
— You can also allow a user that belongs to no area or another area to
manage the area and perform tasks, “Assign Users to Manage an
Area(s)” on page 361.
Set up Area Management
The RealPresence Resource Manager allows you flexibility when setting up
how to manage an area.
