can manage user groups, roles, and permissions to control the level of access (and, therefore, the level of
security) for system users. For more information, see Add a User to an End User Group, on page 59.
In order for end users to access the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal, you must add users to
the standard Cisco Communications Manager End Users group.
