Types of Users 
The user and group profiles enable you to control the level of access each user 
has to MeetingPlace. The four types of users are: 
End Users—End users can schedule meetings, attend meetings they have been 
invited to, and change certain settings in their profile.  
Contacts—Contacts are typically administrative assistants who are 
responsible for scheduling and managing MeetingPlace meetings for a group 
of end users. Contacts can schedule and reschedule meetings on behalf of 
these users and also manage these users’ profiles. In addition, contacts have 
access to the In Session tab in MeetingTime, which enables them to monitor 
and end meetings that have been scheduled by them or their end users. 
Attendants—Attendants are typically MeetingPlace help desk staff who 
support all end users and contacts. Attendants can view all meetings that 
have been scheduled on MeetingPlace and can use the In Session tab to 
monitor or end meetings that are currently taking place. Attendants may also 
create/delete profiles, lock/unlock profiles, run reports, monitor capacity 
management, and view alarms if a system manager has given them these 
privileges. Attendants are typically the “zero out” position that users connect 
to when they need help during a meeting. 
System Managers—The system manager sets up and maintains 
MeetingPlace. As system manager, you need access to all of the information 
in the MeetingPlace database, including system configuration information 
and information about the user community.   
Departmental Support Contacts 
You assign a contact to each MeetingPlace profile. A contact is a 
departmental support person or administrator who can act on behalf of the 
profile user.  
With each user profile, you must specify the MeetingPlace user ID of the 
contact. Typically, user profiles inherit their contacts from their user group. 
 
Note: The MeetingPlace system may be configured to allow 
users to reach assistance prior to entering a meeting if they do 
not enter a number at the first voice prompt or if they attempt to 
access an inactive profile. For more information on reaching 
assistance, see Chapter 7. 
Time Zones 
Each profile has a time zone setting. The time zone should be set to reflect 
the location of the office where the user does business. For all meetings the 
user schedules or is invited to, MeetingPlace accepts and reports start times 
in that user’s time zone.
