Auto Push Users to CUCM

If enabled, users are automatically pushed to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager that is associated with the NDL. The default is disabled. Note: You can edit the site later, and select this check box for one of the following reasons:

  • To automatically push users at the site to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. User surname must be filled in.
  • To perform an Auto User Push when an NDL is added to the site.
  • To perform an Auto User Push when a Cisco Unified Communications Manager is associated with an NDL.

Only users with user type “End User” are pushed to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
