Active Directory Import

If a Quality Management server is joined to a domain, Quality Management users can be imported directly from the Active Directory Store.

Users with the Add/Edit Users permission in their Security Profile can import users from Active Directory.

To import users from Active Directory click the navigation icon and then click the Active Directory Import link from the administration sub-menu. The Active Directory Import tab displays containing the Active Directory Search panel, the Import Options panel and an Import Targets table.

To import users from Active Directory, complete the following steps:

  1. Browse the Active Directory structure in the left most pane and select the box next to any users you want to import. Click the triangle to expand the Active Directory node. The triangle disappears when a node with no children is expanded. A user selected in the Active Directory browser appears in the import targets table. If you select or clear a container object in the Active Directory browser, then it causes all the contained users to be selected or cleared.
  2. In the Import Options section, configure the attributes you want to be applied to all the users in the Import Target table.
  3. Configure the administrative attributes under the Import Options heading:
    1. Department. The department in which the user works. Specifying a department will make it easier to find a user later.
    2. Location. The user's physical location. Specifying a location will make it easier to find a user later.
    3. Security Profile. This determines the Quality Management functionality the users can use. This is a mandatory field, select one of the existing profiles.
    4. Account State. The state of the newly created User accounts. Select Active, which is the default setting, to enable users to log into the Quality Management Client and for their calls to be recorded. Apart from being Active, a user should also have an Enghouse Interactive Call Recording license. Select Inactive to inactivate the user; the Quality Management Client retains the user's details and call data, but the user cannot log into the Quality Management Client or have their calls recorded.
  1. Configure the License Types attribute:

The availability of a given license type requires that the server be provisioned with that license type and that there is at least one unused license of that type.

  1. Call Recording. Select this check box to assign an Unlimited Call Recording license to all the users in the Import Target group. Users with this type of Call Recording license are automatically assigned to the default Call Recording Profile so that their calls are automatically recorded. This profile can be overridden by selecting a different Call Recording Profile for the group of users.
  2. Concurrent Call Recording – Select this check box to assign a Concurrent Call Recording license to all the users in the Import Target group. This is a per-seat license for system-managed recording of calls based on settings in Call Recording Profiles.
  3. On-Demand Call Recording. Select this check box to assign an On-demand Call Recording license to all the users in the Import Target group. Users with this type of Call Recording license can only have their calls recorded in real-time (as they happen). They cannot be assigned to a Call Recording Profile and they cannot have their calls recorded automatically.
  4. Screen Recording. Select this check box to assign a Screen Recording license to all the users in the Import Target group.
  5. Concurrent Screen Recording – Select this check box to assign a Concurrent Screen Recording license to all the users in the Import Target group. This is a per-seat license for system-managed recording of either full user desktops or specific desktop applications, based on Screen Recording Profiles. A Concurrent Call Recording license is required for each Concurrent Screen Recording license.
  6. Agent Evaluation. Select this check box to assign an agent evaluation license to all the users in the Import Target group.
  7. Supervisor – Select this check box to assign a Supervisor license to all the users in the Import Target group. This is a per-user license granting a user access to log into the QMS Client and perform whatever functions are allowed through the user’s Security Profile, but does not allow the user to have calls recorded.
  8. Desktop Utility – Select this check box to assign a Desktop Utility license to all the users in the Import Target group. This is a per-user license that allows use of the QMS Desktop Utility by the user to start, stop, and pause call recordings, without having to log into the QMS Client.
  9. Voice Analytics Realtime - Select this check box to assign a Voice Analytics Realtime license to all the users in the Import Target group. This is a per-user license granting a user access to the live streaming VocalCoach Application. This license also functions as a “base” license where the user can have the license without requiring any other licenses
  10. Voice Analytics Batch - Select this check box to assign a Voice Analytics Batch license to all the users in the Import Target group. This is a per-user license granting a user access VocalCoach’s Batch Speech Processing Application. This license has a pre-requisite of a call recording license: Either Call Recording, Concurrent Call Recording, On-Demand Call Recording, or Voice Analytics Realtime.
