Delete Configurations
When deleting a configuration, it's important to understand at what level you're deleting it and where the
configuration was set, that is, at the root level, the folder level or the user level.

For example, if you have set configurations at the root level and they are propagating down to folders or
users directly under it, you will get this warning if you select a lower level and attempt to delete the
configuration from there:

in your organization.

External Source Configuration pane
The
External Source Configuration
pane is where you will configure the Active Directory information
to import user information from AD to the Provisioning Directory. Cisco highly recommends utilizing AD

FindMe Templates pane
In the
FindMe Templates
pane, the administrator can now specify zero or more FindMe templates. All
new users within your folder structure (from root down) will get a FindMe profile created from the FindMe
profile template upon creation. For example, on each template you can set up zero or more FindMe
device templates. These will let you define a sensible default configuration based on the company's
existing dial plan.
