Integration with LDAP enables the Polycom VMC 1000 to authenticate a user's

with a Polycom VMC 1000 group and role that defines authorized user
permissions and access rights.

If a company does not have an external directory service, or does not want to
leverage their existing directory service, an optional database authentication
mechanism is available to leverage the Polycom VMC 1000 database.
