Setting up Cisco 
MeetingPlace
MeetingPlace offers several ways to organize, maintain, secure, and 
customize information about MeetingPlace and the people who use the 
application. This chapter discusses the following topics:
About profiles
Profiles offer different levels of service to different users, track use for billing 
purposes, maintain better security on your system, and provide effective ways 
for your users to conduct secure meetings.
You can define two types of profiles:
User groups, which include information about groups of MeetingPlace 
users that have common profiles. (To define user groups, see 
User profiles, which include information about individual MeetingPlace 
users. (To define user profiles, see 
Define the user groups first, and then define the user profiles. User profiles 
within a group inherit many of the same group settings, which minimizes the 
work of duplicating those settings for each user in the group.
It is recommended that you create a profile for every user in the system. 
Create a profile for each user who sets up meetings and attends meetings 
regularly.
Benefits of assigning profiles
Users who have profiles established for them can use these important 
MeetingPlace features:
Schedule meetings
Query the system for a list of their meetings
Attend meetings secured by profile
Be invited as a speaker to lecture-style meetings
Be paged or dialed at the time of their meetings
