Setting time zone usage for all users

By default, UC Analytics uses the time zone set in each user profile when displaying data in the insights. Typically, the default is the time zone set for the computer operating system though, in the user profile, a user can set an individual time zone.

In the Queries tile under Admin Settings, you can specify a time zone setting that is used globally for all users. If a specific UTC time zone is set globally for all users, the individual time zone setting for each user profile is disabled.

To set a global time zone setting
1
Click the gear icon on the home page side bar.
2
Click Queries.
3
Under Time Zone, select For all users and select one of the following options.
•
Use time zone of the user's computer.
•
Use time zone of the user's computer without daylight saving time adjustment.
•
Use a specific UTC time zone (minimum -12; maximum +14). For example, you could enter -4.5.

To avoid fluctuations in historical data in insights that show continuous data such as Email Activity and Email Details, after daylight saving time starts or ends, you can set the time zone without daylight saving time adjustment.

For example, while daylight saving time is in effect, the Email Activity insight shows daily counts for midnight to midnight, daylight saving time. When daylight saving time ends, the Email Activity insight shows daily counts for midnight to midnight, standard time. If you set the time zone without the daylight saving time adjustment, the data will be presented using the same standard time midnight day boundaries, regardless of whether daylight saving time is currently in effect or not.

For large organizations that have users that span several time zones, you could use the specific time zone setting to force all user data to be displayed using the same time zone. For example, to keep data consistent, you could set the time zone to UTC +0. This will also turn off daylight saving time adjustment and result in data presented with the same midnight day boundaries for every user.

Granting full access to Admin Settings

In the Security settings, under the Access to Tenant Configuration heading, you can add a user to grant the account full access to the Admin Settings that are used to configure UC Analytics. This user is a product administrator. However, this option only grants access to the Admin Settings used to configure UC Analytics and does not grant access to the collected data.

For product administrator to have access to the collected data in insights, both aggregate and unrestricted, you must also grant the account access for each type of data. For information see Granting users access to data .

To add user as a product administrator
1
Click the gear icon on the home page side bar.
2
Click Security.
3
Under the Access to Tenant Configuration section, click Add Users.
4
Leave the Grant access to all users in all target environments check box empty.
5
Select the target environment.
6
Enter a specific user (email address or SAM account name) to be granted full access to the Admin Settings.
7
Click Add. and click Save.
Adding a tenant administrator

If you have a multiple tenant implementation, you might want to create a tenant administrator who would only have access to the configuration settings for a specific environment (tenant).

To set up an account as a tenant administrator
1
Click the gear icon on the home page side bar.
2
Click Security.
3
Under the Access to Tenant Configuration section, click Add Users.
4
Leave the Grant access to all users in all target environments check box empty.
5
Select the target environment for the tenant.
6
Enter a specific user (email address or SAM account name) or enter a distribution group for all the users to be granted access.
7
Click Add.and click Save.

Granting users access to data

The Security settings allow you to grant users access to data that is displayed in the insights. You can grant access (aggregate or unrestricted) to the different types of collected data such as:

•
cross platform usage
•
Exchange mail client connectivity data (ActiveSync and OWA)
•
Exchange message, public folder, and calendar data
•
Exchange DLP data
•
Skype for Business/Lync usage data
•
Skype for Business/Lync QoE data
•
Cisco usage data

You can grant access to all users in all target environments or grant access to specific users in a specific target environment.

About target environments

If you have configured additional forests or an Office 365 target environment (for a native Office 365 deployment), when you click Add Users to grant access to a specific type of data, you must select the target environment (an Active Directory forest or an Office 365 site) for the users.

For the users who are being granted access:

•
You can grant aggregate access and/or unrestricted access.
•
You can grant access to all users in all target environments or grant access to specific users in a specific target environment.
When granting access to specific users, you can enter either an individual user or a distribution group. If you selected Office 365 as the target environment, it is not recommended that you enter a dynamic distribution group or a distribution group with a large number of members due to performance issues.
 
To grant data access to users
1
Click the gear icon on the home page side bar.
2
Click Security.
3
To grant access to a specific type of data, click Add Users in the section for that type of data.
 
* 
TIP: When granting access to specific users, you can enter an individual user or a distribution group. If you selected Office 365 as the target environment, it is not recommended that you enter a dynamic distribution group or a distribution group with a large number of members due to performance issues.
4
Specify if the users have aggregate access or unrestricted access to each type of data.
For information about the differences between aggregate or unrestricted access to data, see Differences between aggregate and unrestricted access .
5
If you want to grant access to all users, select the Grant access to all users in all target environments check box.
- OR -
Enter a specific user (email address or SAM account name) or enter a distribution group for all the users to be granted access.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: For deployments with multiple target environments, if you are specifying a specific user or distribution group, ensure that the displayed target environment is the environment for which the user or group has rights. If necessary, select the correct environment from the dropdown list.
6
Click Add.
7
Click Save.

Unlike a product administrator who has access to the configuration settings for all environments (tenants), a tenant administrator can only configure settings for a specific environment.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: If you add an Active Directory (AD) user in email address format when the user that does not have an associated mailbox, the security access is not set. For example, if you grant unrestricted access to the AD user, the user would see the error "You do not have the required access rights to view the insight” when attempting to view an insight such as the Mailboxes - Inactive insight.

Workaround

You can add the user by entering the user SAM account name.

To grant access to specific types of data

Security settings allow you to grant users access to specific types of collected data. The types of data are grouped into separate categories which reflect the insights in which the data is shown.

By default, all aggregate access is granted to everyone for all types of data. For information about the difference between aggregate and unrestricted access to data, see Differences between aggregate and unrestricted access .

 
 
* 
TIP: If you do not have access to a certain insight (appears dimmed in the insight library) and you want to know what type of access is required to see the insight, click the Launch Default button for the insight. A message is displayed that indicates what type of data access is required to view data in the insight.
Cross-Platform Data

For cross-platform data, you can grant the following access to the aggregated and unrestricted data:

 
Table 15. Types of access that can be granted for Cross-Platform data.

Differences between aggregate and unrestricted access

If you have aggregate access to data, you can view “public” information in insights. Public information is information that does not specifically identify both individuals in a messaging transaction or does not include “private” information such as message subject, file attachment name, or message ID. If you are collecting message body information, the message body is also considered private.

Other information is considered “sensitive” and may be available for aggregate access depending on the filters you have set in the insight. Sensitive information can include information such as: file attachment extensions, subject keywords, participants, send and received time of day, and importance.

Though you can view sensitive information with aggregate access, sensitive information is not available for specific individuals unless you have unrestricted access. Generally, with aggregate access, you can view insights that contain one sensitive item but not two or more sensitive items.

For example, if you have aggregate access to data, you can view insights that contain information to answer questions such as:

•
How many emails were sent and received by your organization and who are the top senders?
•
Which mail-enabled groups have not been active lately?
•
How many emails were sent with file attachments of specific extensions and how big were they?

However, you cannot view an insight that shows private information that answers questions such as:

•
What are the number of messages sent from one specific person to another specific person?
•
What is the size of a specific mailbox and its last logon date?
•
What are the number of messages from a department that contained a specific message subject? However, you can see the number of messages from a department that contain a specific subject keyword.
•
Which sent messages had a specific file attachment (such as “purchase.docx”)?
•
What are the details of each Exchange meeting that was scheduled (organizer, attendees, duration, subject, etc.)?

To see detailed and private information in insights, you must have a security access of Unrestricted for the type of data reported in the insight.

For information about hiding certain insights from users, or only showing certain insights to some users, see Setting insight visibility settings .

Setting working hours for rooms

If you plan to use insights that show room usage for Exchange meetings such as the Exchange Meetings - Room Usage, you should specify the working hours for rooms.

To set the working hours for Exchange meeting rooms

2
Click Room Working Hours.
3
Ensure that Enable room working hours is selected.
