Using Zoom Rooms admin management

The Zoom Rooms admin management option allows the owner to give Zoom Rooms management to all or specific admins. The admin with Zoom Rooms management capability can use their Zoom login to select the specific Zoom Rooms (room picker) during installation or login to the Zoom Room computer if it gets logged out.

If you want an admin to only manage specific Zoom Rooms, you can assign the admin at the city, campus, location, or floor level.

Zoom Rooms admin management options

Choose the management option that best fits your situation:

• Assign users to a Role that includes the setting for Zoom Rooms. This role setting permits a user to view and/or edit all Zoom Rooms settings across the entire Zoom Rooms location hierarchy. These permissions include the creation, modification and deletion of Locations and Zoom Rooms.
  Note: Assigning this role setting does not allow you to limit access to certain Locations or Zoom Rooms.
• Assign users to the Zoom Rooms Admin configuration setting directly in Zoom Rooms Account Settings, or to a specific location in the Zoom Rooms location hierarchy. Assigning a user in this manner permits them to edit all Zoom Rooms settings for the assigned level of the Zoom Rooms location hierarchy. These permissions include the creation, modification and deletion of Locations and Zoom Rooms in the assigned location(s). The user cannot add or delete locations unless they are also assigned as a Location Management Admin in Centralized Location Management.
  Note: Assigning users as Zoom Rooms Admins at the account or location level permits them edit access - it is not possible to permit view-only access.
