Adding and Removing Group Members
84 ··· Vocera Badge User Guide
Members of a group with management capabilities do not have administration
permission. Only a system administrator can create a group, delete it, or assign
permissions to it.
Adding and Removing Group Members
As a group manager, you are responsible for maintaining the membership in the
group. You can add members to the group and remove them from the group
with voice commands.
If the Vocera administrator allows it, Vocera users can also add themselves to a
group. See Joining or Leaving a Group on page 70 .
The following table shows the commands for adding and removing group
members:
Description Recommended Voice Commands

Recording Names and Greetings for a Group
The Genie speaks the name of a group or one of its alternate names in the
following situations:
• To prompt users who call, send messages, or broadcast to a group.
• To confirm calls, messages, or broadcasts to a group.
To ensure more natural sounding speech, you should record names for the
Genie to use. If you do not record names, the Genie attempts to pronounce
them by converting the spelling of the group names to spoken words.
To record group names, press the Call button, wait for the Genie to answer, and
say “Record names for group name”. The Genie walks you through the steps
for recording the group name and its alternates.
