Create an Entitlement Profile

Entitlement Profiles are used to define the services and devices a user is entitled to.

Assign an entitlement profile to a user when you:

• Sync the user into VOSS-4-UC from LDAP.
• Sync the user into VOSS-4-UC from Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
• Create or modify the user in VOSS-4-UC using Subscriber Management or User Management.

Note

The Maximum Number of Devices and Maximum Number of Devices in a Group are limitations for each individual user, not for all users in the system.

Prerequisites:

• Define an Entitlement Catalog at or above the hierarchy node where you create an entitlement profile (see Create an Entitlement Catalog).

  The Entitlement Catalog restricts the service and devices that can be entitled in the Entitlement Profile. An Entitlement Profile can further restrict services and devices a user is entitled to. However, it cannot expand the services and devices beyond the restrictions defined in the Entitlement Catalog.

Note

The animation shows how to create an entitlement catalog and an entitlement profile. An entitlement catalog must exist at or above the hierarchy level at which you want to create the entitlement profile.

To create an entitlement profile:

1. Log in as provider administrator.

2. Set the hierarchy path to the location where you want to create the Entitlement Profile.

3. Choose Entitlement > Profiles.

4. Click Add.

5. On the Profiles screen, complete at minimum, the mandatory Entitlement Profiles fields.

6. Click the Plus sign (+) adjacent to Device Groups to add more device groups to the Entitlement Profile, if required.

7. Click Save.

   The Entitlement Profile is defined and can be assigned to users.
