Quick Add Subscriber Groups#
Overview#
A Quick Add Group (QAG) is a collection of templates that configure the subscriber features.
Note
A Quick Add Group is mandatory when adding a subscriber using Quick Add Subscriber.
Quick Add Subscriber Groups allow administrators to group feature and configuration templates for use with Quick Add Subscriber and Add Subscriber. This grouping helps to quickly and easily configure subscribers.
For example, to add 100 back-office users and 50 sales users:
Back-office users all use the 7965 phone with SCCP protocol and no services.
Sales users all use the 8865 phone with SCCP protocol and Single Number Reach service.
To quickly configure these two groups, create two Configuration Templates:
One for the 7965 phone with no services for the back-office users.
One for the 8865 phone with the Single Number Reach service for the sales users.
You also create two Quick Add Groups:
One for the back-office users which reference the back-office user Configuration Template.
One for the sales users which reference the sales users Configuration Template.
You can manage Quick Add Group templates from the QAG Settings menu. To easily identify a Quick Add Group from the drop-down when managing Quick Add Subscriber Groups, a best practice naming convention here could include a pattern:
<friendly hierarchy name>-QAG-<user type>-<phone-template-name>-[description]
For example, GeoLogic-QAG_BasicUser - 69XX SIP - CallWaiting
When adding subscribers (with Quick Add Subscriber or Add Subscriber), choose the appropriate Quick Add Group for the user you’re provisioning.
All subscriber services use configuration templates that belong to a Quick Add Group.
Add a Quick Add Subscriber Group#
This procedure adds a Quick Add Subscriber Group (QAG).
Log in as Provider, Reseller, Customer, or Site administrator.
Go to (default menus) Subscriber Management > Quick Add Subscriber Groups.
Click Add.
In the Group Name field, enter a group name. This is a required field.
From the Template drop-downs, choose the required templates.
For example, perform these steps to create back-office QAS users with phone type 6911 using SCCP protocol (voice account):
From the Default CUCM Phone Template drop-down, choose Backoffice Phone 6911 SCCP.
From the Default CUCM Line Template drop-down, choose Default CUCM Line Template. This associates a line with the phone.
You can also use custom configuration templates to assign to a Quick Add Subscriber Group.
The custom configuration template can be at the same level in the hierarchy as the group, or higher.
Note
The templates under Microsoft have options to select a MS Groups Add Template and MS Groups Remove Template where configured templates can be selected that assign/unassign MS 365 group membership to a user when this Quick Add Subscriber Group is selected as the Quick Add Group during the Microsoft Quick Add Subscriber process see: Quick Subscriber.
This functionality allows for group licensing that is common for large enterprises - see: Licensing Users for MS Teams and Teams Phone by Group Membership.
Reference and System configuration templates are provided that can be cloned and customized if required.
The Update Group Membership multi-vendor Quick Action is also available to manage this group membership of the subscriber. See: Multi Vendor Subscribers and Enable Multi Vendor Subscribers.
Click Save.
Delete a Quick Add Subscriber Group#
The default Quick Add Subscriber (QAS) Group resides at the sys hierarchy node.
Note
A QAS Group is required for the QAS function to work.
Go to (default menus) Subscriber Management > Quick Add Subscriber Groups.
Select the checkbox at the Quick Add Subscriber Group you want to delete.
Click Delete, then click Yes to confirm.
