8-8 Local voice users
Setting the default administration context for NMS
Standard 1.0 System Administration Guide January 1998
Setting the default administration context for NMS
Introduction
When the Network Message Service (NMS) is installed, all
local voice users are associated with a particular NMS
location. You must specify this location whenever you
• add a new local voice user
• modify or delete an existing local voice user
• add a local voice user to a distribution list
The system default
The system default is the prime NMS location.
How to use the
default administration
context
If you want to add or delete a number of users to or from the
same location, rather than entering the location for each user,
you can make their location the default location
(administration context). This means that you will not have to
specify the location in the Add or Delete Local Voice Users
screens for each user. The user will be automatically added to
or deleted from the location that is specified as the default
administration context.
How long the default context stays in effect
The new context stays in effect only as long as you remain in
User Administration. Once you exit User Administration, the
system resets the default administration context to the prime
location.
You, therefore, need to set the default administration context
whenever you enter User Administration if you plan on
adding, modifying, or deleting a number of users to the same
location.
