Cisco Unity Express Voice-Mail and Auto-Attendant CLI Administrator Guide for 3.0 and Later Versions

Configuring Users and Groups

All configuration and administration functions for Cisco Unity Express are available through the

graphical user interface (GUI). However, you may find using the command-line interface (CLI) is more

efficient than using the GUI. For example, you may want to create a script to configure a large number

of subscribers for a specific system. In this case, the CLI can be more efficient.

This chapter describes the commands for the following tasks and contains the following sections:

• Prerequisites, page 1

• Adding and Modifying a User, page 1

• Adding and Modifying a Group, page 7

• Configuring Privileges, page 11

Prerequisites

Verify that the telephones and extensions connected to the Cisco Unified CME router or

Cisco Unified Communications Manager server are configured. If you have not completed the

configuration, see your Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrator guide or

Cisco Unified CME administrator guide for the procedures.

Adding and Modifying a User

Users, or subscribers, configured in Cisco Unified CME or Cisco Unified Communications Manager can

be imported to the Cisco Unity Express database.

• Cisco Unity Express does not automatically synchronize its database with the

Cisco

Unified Communications Manager database. If a subscriber defined in Cisco Unity Express

must be in the Cisco

Unified Communications Manager database, go back to

Cisco

Unified Communications Manager later and define the subscriber there.

Note If you change a Cisco Unified CME user’s password on Cisco Unity Express with Configure -->

Users, the password for that user is updated on Cisco Unified CME. However, the reverse is not

true: a user password changed on Cisco Unified CME will not be updated to

Cisco Unity Express.
