Configuring Active Directory Moderator Mode
VIA GO²
enables you to import users from an Active Directory without having to create them
in the Gateway Management Pages. The Active Directory must be organized into two sets of
users: one that has permission to become moderator and one that does not have moderator
permission. When using Active Directory, only users that are in the directory can join a VIA
meeting.
You can use Groups or OUs (Organizational Units) to divide the moderator and
participant/non-moderator set of users.
Do not use Groups or OUs that have any employee in common. If there is overlap of users in
your existing Groups, you will have to create new Groups for this purpose.
