Jabber for Windows hiding users

[michaelfine77]

Is it possible to have a user licensed for Jabber for windows and use the software, but be hidden from all other users to add as a contact, say a President or high level exec who does not want the regular user base to have him/her in their contact list or see their presence?

Thanks

Hello Michael,

You can hide the user preventing that users see that presence status and exchaging IM with the user that you need.

Take a look on this link:

"Adding Internal Users to Your Allowed or Blocked Exception Lists

This procedure allows you to manage the exceptions to the general privacy policy in the form of Allow and Block lists. Depending on the default privacy policy that you set at organizational level, either the allowed or blocked list is available for you to edit. In this way, you can override the default policy behavior to add specific people within your organization to your allowed or blocked list.

•Setting the Allow policy for specific users enables them to be able to see your availability and send you instant messages even if the general policy blocks them.

•Setting the Block policy for specific users prevents them from viewing status and exchanging IM when they are using Cisco clients (Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Version 7 and Cisco Jabber Version 8) - even if the general policy allows them. Users on the Contact list are always allowed unless explicitly blocked on the Exception list. Note that some third-party XMPP clients will still send and receive IMs regardless of the policy that you set."

Leonardo,

Thank you for the information. I see how we can have users login to CUPS and make changes on their own profile, but is there a way for an admin to make those same changes on behalf of an exec type user as they will not want to make the changes themselves?

Thanks
