Creating User Profiles
A user profile is required for any user who will be scheduling meetings on
MeetingPlace. A user profile identifies the user to the system and classifies the
type of system access that the user requires. The classification assigned to a
user determines which MeetingPlace features the user can access. When users
attend a meeting, MeetingPlace identifies them by their user profiles and
assigns them privileges based on their profiles. For example, a profile
determines whether or not a person can outdial during a meeting.

For a description of each parameter in a user’s profile, refer to Worksheet 4-14.
To enable users without MeetingPlace profiles to attend meetings, a guest
profile (profile number 0000) resides on the system. This profile defines the
privileges of all guests and is used whenever users do not identify
themselves to the system. As the MeetingPlace system manager, you can
modify the guest profile, but you cannot delete it.

Tip: One of the most important settings in the guest profile is whether or not
outdial is allowed. It is recommended that guest participants not be allowed
to outdial. This will help prevent unauthorized outdialing from your system.

Note: When the Reservationless Meetings feature is turned on,
profile numbers cannot match existing meeting IDs, since
reservationless meetings use profile numbers as reservationless
meeting IDs. If you attempt to create a profile number that
matches an existing meeting ID, the system will notify you of
the conflict. To resolve the conflict, you must either change the
meeting ID or select another profile number for the user.

When you first create a user profile default values are obtained from the guest
profile, which acts as a template. However, the guest profile does not provide
values for the first name, last name, user ID, and profile number fields.

values for the first name, last name, user ID, and profile number fields.
Because two users cannot have the same user ID or profile number, the
values for these fields must be unique. Table 4-2 provides a few
recommendations for creating user IDs and profile numbers that will be easy
for your users to remember.
