Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Maintenance Manual

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

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

In addition to the user ID, MeetingPlace profiles have a unique profile 
number. The profile number—3 to 17 digits—identifies users over the 
telephone. Typically, the profile number is the same as a user’s telephone 
number, extension, or voice-mail box. Profile numbers have corresponding 
numeric passwords that are independent of the alphanumeric passwords 
associated with the user ID for LAN or WAN access.

Keep the following important points in mind:

•

Do not set the user ID and profile numbers to the same value. Using 
numeric-only user IDs makes reports difficult to read. Also, because 
MeetingTime consistently refers to conference participants by user ID, 
managing conferences from within MeetingTime becomes difficult when 
you assign numeric-only user IDs.

•

When the Reservationless Meetings feature is turned on, profile numbers 
cannot match existing meeting IDs (because reservationless meetings use 
profile numbers as reservationless meeting IDs). If you try to create a 
profile number that matches an existing meeting ID, you receive an error 
message about the conflict. To resolve the conflict, either change the 
meeting ID or select another profile number for the user. (For more 
information about the Reservationless Meetings feature, see 

)

Attendant

Attendants support all end users and delegates. They can view all meetings that 
have been scheduled on MeetingPlace and can use the In Session tab to monitor 
end meetings that are currently taking place. 

Attendants may also create and delete profiles, lock and 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, and are often 
MeetingPlace help desk staff in the company.

System manager

System managers set up and maintain MeetingPlace. As such, they need access to 
all information in the MeetingPlace database, including system configuration 
information and information about the user community.
