Describe Cisco Unity Connection Users and
Mailboxes
The system components identified previously are important, but without users and mail-
boxes, system functionality is limited. The following sections outline the basics of adding
users and mailboxes to the system.
User Templates
User Templates, as the name implies, provide a pattern used in the creation of new user ac-
counts. Most of the required configuration information common to all the new users can
be entered in the template, and then the individual user-specific information is combined
with the template to create (potentially many) new user accounts with speed and accuracy.
The template settings are applied as the user is created; changing the template does not
retroactively change the user accounts that were created using that template.
Two default User Templates are created at install: one for administrators and one for users.

The following sections highlight some of the settings on the User Template Pages (of
which there are many, so not all settings are discussed).
User Template Basics
The basic elements of User Template configuration are summarized in the following sections:
Name:
The name of the template, such as Managers. The Alias and Display Name
generation for user accounts can also be specified; the default is first name followed
by last name.
■
Phone:
In this section, the Dial-Plan (Partition/Search Space), Class of Service (CoS),
and Schedule are defined.
■
Location:
Geographic location information, language localization, and time zone are
set here.
■
Key Point:
CoS in CUC (not to be confused with Layer 2 Quality of Service [QoS]
marking or CUCM Class of Control) is a simple and powerful method of assigning and
restricting user privilege. The CoS defines greeting and message length timers, licensed
feature access, advanced feature access, alternate extension definition, Private DL number,
and membership limits and call transfer abilities.
Key
To p i c
An unlimited number of CoS can be defined, providing exactly the combination of abili-
ties and features for as many sets of users as needed.
