Adding users

Use this task to add users to the Messaging system. You can select any of the configured storage destinations for your messages.

If you have users that are already created in the Active Directory (AD), you can add these users directly to the Messaging system without having to manually configure their values. For more information, see Adding users from Active Directory.

You cannot add users if the storage destination is Exchange or Zimbra and any of the following conditions are true on the System Ports and Access Web page:

Procedure

  1. On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Messaging System (Storage) > User Management.

  3. Enter the appropriate information in the fields.

    For more information, see User Management > Properties field descriptions.

  4. Click Save.

    If appropriate, you can designate the user as an attendant. See Assigning an attendant number.

  5. Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 for each additional user.
  6. Notify the new users that the Messaging service is available.
