Access to Smart Scheduler works the same as access to Cisco TMS; users must have one of the following:

A local account on the Cisco TMS Windows Server
■
A domain account that the server trusts through Active Directory. By making the server a member of the domain,
all trusted domain users can automatically use their existing Windows credentials.
all trusted domain users can automatically use their existing Windows credentials.
A Cisco TMS user will be created for them when they access the site if it does not already exist.
Note that the actual booking is not created directly by the individual user, but on their behalf by the Cisco TMSPE service
user added during installation. Booking permissions for individual systems will therefore be the same for all users, so
that all users who can log in to the Smart Scheduler will be allowed to book all endpoints.

Do not use this service user to log onto Smart Scheduler and create bookings.
Time Zone Display
Bookings will be created using the time zone detected on the user's computer. To see their time zone, users can go to
the date and time settings in the User Portal, Account Settings > Locale. Note that as the detection works for time zone
rule sets, but not names, the name displayed for the user's time zone may be incorrect.

In a non-SSO scenario, a WebEx username and password must be manually added for each Cisco TMS/Smart

themselves through the Smart Scheduler settings.
