User privilege levels
Every configured user in the MCU has an associated privilege level.
There are six defined privilege levels
which determine the amount of control the user has over the MCU and its settings. Refer to the table below for details.
| Privilege level |
Access |
| administrator |
The main difference between an administrator and users with lower privilege levels is that administrators can change settings
that affect all conferences and the configuration of the MCU itself, whereas other users only have access to individual
conferences and to their own profiles.
Users with administrator access can:
- View MCU-wide status (Status)
- Access all settings pages (Settings)
- Perform software upgrades (Settings > Upgrade)
- Change system-wide conference settings (Settings > Conferences)
- View the Event log (Logs)
- Manage users (Users)
- Manage endpoints (Endpoints)
- Configure auto attendants (Conferences > Auto attendants)
- Fully control conferences (Conferences)
