Central Management Environments Administration

Modified on Mon, 21 Mar 2022 at 02:42 PM

The Central Management Environment (CME)* provides a single point of access for Akixi Administrators to view, manage and administrate all their Akixi customers from within a single environment, with a single login.

To access the CME administration area of the application, left-click the hamburger menu located in the top-left of the portal and select “Administration” followed by "Central Management Environments" found underneath.

The CME also has the added benefit of allowing Akixi Administrators to access billing CDRs and summaries for all their customer sites from a single location. CMEs can be used to store collections of other CMEs for housekeeping and management purposes.

The central management environment list shows the following columns for each configured system:

Column	Description
CME Name	This is the name configured for the central management environment entry.
CMEs	Displays number of CMEs that are owned by the central management environment entry. This includes only directly owned entries.

Partitions	Displays number of partitions that belong to telephony servers owned by the central management environment entry
Users	Displays number of users that belong the central management environment entry. Users belong to the central management environment if their CME privileged are set to this central management environment.
Select	The Select column displays a checkbox against each central management environment entry in order to allow you to specifically select and perform an action on it using the buttons at the bottom-right of the page. You can also left click the associated column header text, in order to automatically toggle between all items shown on the current page being selected or unselected.
