Avaya Video Conferencing Manager Deployment Guide 51
Managing Device Groups
Group devices into folders in Avaya Video Conferencing Manager to do the following:
• Create and set a default hierarchical group of managed devices to appear in the directory for all
managed Avaya, LG, and LifeSize video systems when the user chooses to browse the corporate
directory hierarchically. You can also create more than one group and select the group that appears in
the directory for an individual system. Devices that are available for placing into a hierarchical group
include managed video and voice devices, LifeSize Desktop installations, external devices, and on
demand conferences.
NOTE Assign LifeSize Desktop installations to a group from the LifeSize Desktop
page. You must create the group first from the Devices page by following the
instructions in this section and then add the installations from the
LifeSize Desktop page.
• Specify the tasks that a custom role can perform on managed and external devices in a folder. For
example, in Avaya Video Conferencing Manager Administrator, you can create a custom role for users
in a specific geographical region. From the Devices page, group all devices in that region into a folder,
assign the custom role that you created for that region to the folder, and choose which tasks that
custom role is authorized to perform on the devices in that folder. Read more about custom roles at
Role Management Settings.
Creating a Directory Group
Create a device group that users of managed devices can use to browse the corporate directory
hierarchically:
1. On the Devices page, click .
2. In the Device groups window, click Manage groups.
3. Click Create group.
NOTE The name of the group is restricted to the following characters: A-Z a-z 0-9 ~ !
@ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ - + = { } | \ < , > . ? / ; : \
The name of the group appears in the pane below Group name. This name represents the top of the
hierarchy. It does not appear on the directory screen when you set it as the default. You cannot assign
devices to it. You create subfolders under this folder and add devices to the subfolders to form the
hierarchy that appears in the directory screen.
4. In the pane below Group name, click the group name.
5. Click and Create folder.
6. Enter the name of the folder.
