How Management Portal manages users

Actions that make users become unmanaged

A user can become unmanaged when you make changes outside of MiCloud Management Portal, for example, you create a user in MiCollab Client Service or edit fields externally. This means that the fields in MiCloud Management Portal are no longer synchronized with the fields changed externally and they become read-only fields in MiCloud Management Portal. You must return to MiCollab Client Service to edit the fields. See MiCollab Client Service and MiCloud Management Portal field overrides for details.

A user becomes unmanaged when you:

  • Change the number and types of services so much that they no longer match the MiCloud Management Portal bundle and site definition. For example, adding a device that is not supported in MiCloud Management Portal, or adding 5 phones in MiCollab Client Service when a maximum of four phones is supported in MiCloud Management Portal.

  • Change the user e-mail address from MiCollab Client Service.

  • Change the user Login ID from MiCollab Client Service.

  • Change the Location field from MiCollab Client Service.

  • Change the Speech Auto Attendant Associated Phone field in MiCollab Client Service to a non-prime number, for example, 54*70.

  • Set Auto Attendant Privacy in MiCollab Client Service.

  • Change MAC Addresses that are not related to Set Replacement or Installer PIN operations.

To make the user manageable

When the user is modified outside MiCloud Management Portal, for example, MiCollab/MiVoice Business, the user becomes unmanageable. To make the user manageable, run the following maintenance command:

reconcile_extension     
webId extension    

Considerations regarding unmanaged users

  • The End User Portal is not available for unmanaged users.

  • The "Create new user from existing user" feature is not available in the Customer Administrator Portal.

  • The first available extension is picked when a user created in MiCollab Client Serves does not have an extension that is digit only. For example, it would select "54*57" if the extensions available were 54*57, 54*68, and 54*70.

Operations that you cannot manage concurrently

Other operations that you cannot manage from MiCollab Client Service when they are managed from MiCloud Management Portal:

  • Teleworker

  • E-mail deployment

Usage and billing information for unmanaged users

When MiCloud Management Portal cannot synchronize a user and associated services, the user is highlighted as unmanaged. However, MiCloud Management Portal still provides usage and billing information around for that user. When a user is no longer managed, MiCloud Management Portal:

  • Collects license information.

  • Displays user fields as “Read Only”.

  • Indicates "unmanaged" in the Bundle column.

When a group member becomes unmanaged

When a group member becomes unmanaged, Management Portal detects the unmanaged user (during save) and you receive an error message. However, you can have an unmanaged user as an overflow point or voicemail operator.

Changing DID numbers outside of Management Portal

You can use periodic syncs in the billing scheduler to sync and update user data between Management Portal and MiCollab. When set up, the sync updates and saves the first name, last name, extension information, and DID data in the Management Portal database.
