Configure Areas Configuring Multi-Tenancy

Manage the Area with System Roles
You can either have a set of users with system roles who manage the
administrative and conference scheduling tasks for an area or you can set up
area users with these roles and responsibilities.
In order for a user to perform tasks within ALL areas, a user must be given a
system role that includes the View and/Or Modify all Areas permission. All
system roles have this permission by default.
Manage the Area with Area Roles
In order for a user to perform tasks within a a single area, a user must be given
the following:
• An area role
• Be configured to manage the area to which they need to perform their
tasks.
When associating a user with an area role, you must also explicit configure
that user to manage the area. If the user is not allowed to manage the area,
he cannot perform the tasks associated with his role. Area users can be
configured to manage more than one area, see “Assign Users to Manage
an Area(s)” on page 361.
Assign Resources to an Area
You need to assign resources to an area. Resources that belong exclusively to
an area must be assigned to the area. Most resources can be created and
assigned to an area by an Administrator or an Area Administrator.
Network devices must be assigned to an area by someone with the Device
Administrator role.
Can Belong to One or No Area
The following resources need to be assigned to one area or no area.
• Users
• Rooms
• Guests
• Groups
• Address Books
Note about Conference Templates
The Administrator role is the only pre-defined role that can add or edit
conference templates.
