Bulk Provisioning Reservationless Conferences
As an administrator, you can set up reservationless conferences for system users. If you
program reservationless conferences, users do not need to use the MCA Web client to set up
their own conferences.
If Custom Access Codes have been enabled on the System Options page, MCA enables you
to define an access code for both the leader and the participants. If Custom Access Codes
have not been enabled on the System Options page, the bulk provisioning process for MCA
allows you to select a user’s participant access code. In this case, if you specify the participant
access code, the corresponding leader access code is automatically generated. Or, you can
let MCA set both the participant access code and the leader access code.
In either case, the process is performed using a text file, in .csv format. Each line starts with a
registered username and (if selected) a desired participant access code. If Custom Access
codes have been enabled, each line starts with the registered username, the participant access
code, and then the leader access code. This file needs to be prepared in advance using standard
computer application editing tools or a spreadsheet that is saved in .csv format (for example,
Microsoft Excel). Refer to the notes provided on the page about the format for additional
instructions to assemble the file.
