Quick Add Subscriber: Overview

Quick Add Subscriber (QAS) provides a single page where you can:

  • Add users to Unified Communications Manager
  • Provision a Voice service for Unified Communications Manager users. See Provision the Voice Service for more details.
  • Add users to Voicemail and WebEx accounts
  • Provision users with services, such as Extension Mobility, Voicemail, Single Number Reach, Webex Teams, and Jabber/Dual-Mode Devices
  • Add lines for Unified Communications Manager users
  • Associate a Device Pool directly from the interface to a subscriber’s newly associated devices or services other than the Device Pool provided in the Site Defaults Doc (SDD) or reference Configuration Template (CFT) in the Quick Add Group (QAG). See Quick Add Subscriber Device Pool for more details.
  • Associate Calling Search Space (CSS) values to a subscriber’s newly associated lines, devices or services other than the CSS’s provided in the Site Defaults Doc (SDD) or reference Configuration Template (CFT) in the Quick Add Group (QAG), by selecting a Class of Service (CoS) directly from the interface. See Quick Add Subscriber Class of Service for more details.

QAS supports many user types, including:

  • LDAP users
  • Unified Communications Manager integrated users
  • LDAP-integrated users on Unified Communications Manager
  • Manually created users

If the Default Self-service Language is set on the SDD, Users will be assigned the corresponding Self-service language.

A Quick Add Group (QAG) is a collection of templates that configure the subscriber features, and is mandatory when adding a QAS.

Note

To add subscribers using QAS, a default user template called “voicemailusertemplate” must exist on the Unified CM. This default can be edited by editing the default CUC User Template value in the SDD.

For self-provisioned phones to show as being associated with a Subscriber, perform a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Data Sync after setting up a self-provisioned phone.

Any modifications of the added subscriber and associated services are done from the respective service menu items.

The Quick Add Subscriber input form shows a number of check boxes to enable user services such as Voicemail, Extension Mobility, Single Number Reach, WebEx, CMR, Webex Teams (Webex Teams Quick Add), etc. Selecting certain check boxes exposes additional fields.

If the Entitlement profile selected on the QAS form does not include a particular service, then the check boxes for that service is not available. For example, if the selected Entitlement profile for the Subscriber does not include Voice services, then the check box controls for Voice, Jabber, and Self Service ID will not show on the form. The choice of Entitlement profile will filter the available options in the Phone Type drop-down to show only the enabled devices in the Entitlement profile.

For the Voicemail service, controls will also not be available if the site’s SDD has no default value on the CUC Defaults tab for the Default CUC Subscriber Template. This default value (voicemailusertemplate) should already exist on the Unified CM and is automatically populated on an HCS system when a VoiceMail Pilot is created. A Cisco Unity Connection device must also be configured at the related NDL (Network Device List) at site level.

While the Admin Portal hides controls if services are not available, API and Bulk Load operations have Provisioning Workflow checks for the presence of the Default CUC User Template in the SDD and a configured WebEx Server in the NDL before the selected services can be added.

If no Unified CM has been configured at the hierarchy that the Subscriber belongs, then Quick Add Subscriber bulk load transactions and API calls will show a warning message: No Call Manager has been configured.

Webex Teams Quick Add

If you select the Webex Teams check box, the Webex Teams User Template drop-down is exposed. From this, you can select the Webex Teams User Template to use for the user. This selection overrides the default user template referenced in the Quick Add User Group associated to the user. If a Webex Teams User Template is not selected from the drop-down, selection falls back to the Webex Teams User Template referenced in the associated Quick Add User Group. If you want customized values, clone the Webex Teams User Template (Customizations > Configuration Templates) and edit as required.
