You can create user policies, and assign users and groups
to these policies.
About this task
You can set policy for users to have access to specific IBM® Sametime® features, depending
upon their level of need. For example, the maximum size for a file
being transferred is set by default at 1 megabyte to help manage traffic
over the server(s); however, if you have a group that routinely transfers
large files for business reasons, you can create a new policy specifically
for those users and set the maximum size of files that they can send
to a much higher number.Note: The default policy settings are used
as the base for all new policies. You can update these settings.
Procedure
- Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console.
- Click Sametime System Console.
- Click Manage Policies.
- Click the Sametime product
for which you want to create a policy.
- Instant Messaging
- Meetings
- Media Manager
- Click New.
- Enter a name to use to identify the policy in the Policy
Name field.
Note: Do not use the following
special characters in the policy's name or in any one of the values
of policy attributes:
- Ampersand (&)
- Apostrophe (')
- Quotation mark (")
- Greater than character (>)
- Less than character (<)
- backslash character (\)
- Specify the features that you want to enable or disable
for the users or groups that you will assign to this policy.
Some
instant messaging features are flagged with
IC characters
after the field label. This flag indicates that a feature is only
available for installed clients. The feature is not available to browser
clients.
Tip: You cannot delete the anonymous or default
policies, but you can edit them. If you edit any policy, you cannot
change the policy name, because the policy may already be applied
to users. To change a policy's name, click Duplicate and
then enter a new policy name. Before you delete the original, be sure
to reassign the users and groups to the copy and give it the proper
policy weight.
- Click OK.
What to do next
You can now assign users and groups to this policy.
