User Roles Overview
The Polycom RealPresence DMA system has four user roles, or classes of users, each with its own set of
permissions. Every user account has one or more user roles (but only three of the four roles must be
explicitly assigned).
The following table briefly describes the user roles. See Polycom RealPresence DMA System User Roles
and Their Access Privileges for detailed information on which commands are available to each user role.

account of any other API client that should have administrative rights and
responsibilities.
This role must be explicitly assigned by an Administrator.
