Recommendations for UC Monitor Groups

Use UC Monitor groups to organize your call servers, media devices, voice interfaces, and Locations. Properly organizing your devices and Locations into groups lets you:

• Manage and organize UC Monitor reports.
• Assign UC Monitor user permissions appropriately.

Set up groups that resemble the reporting structure of your IT organization, the geography of your organization, or the logical structure of your system. To ensure group validity, always position call servers and media devices at the nodes in the Groups tree where access permissions are applied. Groups can contain multiple levels of subgroups. A user with permission to view a group can also view all of its subgroups.

You cannot manage groups in the UC Monitor management console. To create and edit groups for Locations and devices, register UC Monitor as a data source for CA Performance Center. After registration is complete, access to the group management interface requires you to log in to CA Performance Center with administrator privileges.

Note: For complete information about managing groups, see the CA Performance Center Administrator Guide.
