Defining permissions and groups
Cisco TMS gives administrators the ability to control which features users have access to, such as
booking, managing systems, and so on. As an administrator you also control for which systems users
have access to those features. For example, this makes it possible to allow the IT team in Chicago to
fully control and manage endpoints in Chicago, while preventing them from scheduling or making
changes to systems in London.

When a user does not have permissions for something in Cisco TMS, it is normally hidden from their
view. If they have no permissions for a system, the system will not even show in their listings. If a user
has no Booking permissions, the Booking menu is not displayed. This creates very simple interfaces for
users with limited roles.

You control permissions in Cisco TMS by defining User Groups and assigning users to groups. A user's
permissions are the cumulative permissions of all groups that user is a member of, that is, the sum of the
permissions for all those groups.
