User Setup and Account Management
Manage users through functions available under Provisioning on the menu bar. Navigation links
are located on the left side of the page.
User accounts on MCA contain user-specific information needed to log on and use MCA. When
a user is initially set up, most parameters are set to system defaults, but you can change specific
settings for individual users, as described in this section.
Adding User Accounts
As an administrator, you can create user accounts for Mitel Collaboration Advanced. See Note
on page 56.
To add individual accounts:
1. From the MCA Administrator page, click Add User in the navigation pane.
2. Type the Username and Password for the new user. The user name must be in the format:
[e-mail].
3. Type a Personal ID for this user (select a 3 to 5 digit identification number).
4. Type the Registered Phone number for this user. For non-extensions, type the full number,
with area code -- it is formatted automatically.
5. Click Create User. A prompt appears to confirm that the new user is added to MCA.
Note: Do not add new MCA users, delete existing MCA users, or manage accounts
from the MCA administrator interface. Instead, you should configure users from the
MAS administrator interface, Server Manager – Users and Services. If you create new
users through the MCA administrator, they will appear as an Unassigned service
associated with MCA. Refer to the MAS administrator online Help for managing user
accounts.
Note: You can set up users either through the Provisioning Web page or through LDAP
queries to a corporate directory. The following sections describe the process for setting
up users locally in the MCA database. Using LDAP is described in Configuring LDAP
Authentication and Auto-Provisioning on page 40.
