Customizing MeetingPlace 

Profiles make it possible for you to offer different levels of service to 
different users, track usage for billing, maintain better security on your 
system, and provide effective ways for your users to conduct secure 
meetings. 

A user profile contains all information about known users in MeetingPlace. 
Profiles contain the following types of information: 

•

 

User ID and passwords 

•

 

Address information, including phone and e-mail 

•

 

Billing information 

•

 

Class-of-service privileges 

•

Meeting preferences 

All users should have profiles in the system. Users who set up their own 
meetings must have their own profiles. Users who attend meetings regularly 
should also have profiles on the system. 

MeetingPlace identifies users based on their user ID. The user ID is a unique 
alphanumeric string of 3 to 17 characters. MeetingTime references users by 
their user IDs in all of its screens and reports. 

Users also need their user ID and a corresponding alphanumeric password to 
use MeetingTime and MeetingPlace Web over the Local Area Network 
(LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). You should assign users 
MeetingPlace user IDs that are the same as either their network or e-mail 
user names.
