User administration
Description
User administration involves creating and maintaining a
database of users.
Local voice users
Local voice users have mailboxes. You can add, modify, and
delete local voice users in User Administration. You can also
carry out other user-related functions such as recording personal
verifications and setting up remote notification schedules.
Remote voice users
If Meridian Networking or Enterprise Networking, or both, are
installed, you can add users at remote sites to your local user
database. One way of adding and deleting remote voice users is
through User Administration.
Remote voice users can be added to distribution lists at the local
site. Local users can use name dialing and call sender to call
remote voice users and name addressing to compose messages
to them.
Directory entry users
Directory entry users do not have mailboxes. They are,
however, in the user directory, and therefore can be accessed by
features such as name dialing and Thru-Dial. These users are
added, modified, and deleted from User Administration.
Distribution lists
Distribution lists contain a list of mailbox numbers. Whenever
you send a message to a distribution list, it is sent to all of the
mailboxes in the list.
Administering distribution lists involves
• assigning a number to each list
• adding mailbox numbers to each list
• keeping the lists up to date
• recording a personal verification for each list
