Accessing the Pro Management portal

To access the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal, you need to assign one or more users to the Managed Service Administrator and then complete the enrollment steps using that user.

Assign users to the Managed Service Administrator role

  2. Navigate to Settings > Settings > Roles and then select Managed Service Administrator.
  3. Under Managed Service Administrator, select the Assignments tab and then select Add.
  4. Follow the wizard to name the assignment and select the users who should be added to it. The assignment will apply to all rooms and room groups.
  5. At the end of the assignment wizard, select Add assignment.

Users who are assigned the Managed Service Administrator role are responsible for the day-to-day management and monitoring of Teams Rooms.

After you’ve assigned users to the Managed Service Administrator role, continue to the Enroll a Teams Rooms device to add a Teams Rooms device to the managed service portal.
