Administering
Manage IBM® Sametime® servers and users to ensure proper access to the features in your deployment.
Administering a Sametime® Gateway Server
Set up and begin using the IBM® Sametime® Gateway Server to enable local IBM Sametime users to have real-time collaboration with users of other instant messaging systems. After installing the Sametime Gateway Server, you can create a local and external community, manage user access, add message handlers if necessary, and set properties such as session timeouts and blacklist domains.
Assigning users access to external communities
Assign local users access to external communities so that they can exchange real-time communications with users from external communities. You can assign access only for local users.
Finding users
Determine if a local user is assigned access to an external community. In addition, determine the capabilities assigned to the user.

Before you begin

You must create an external community and assign users to the community first.

Click Find Users.
Type the user's email address and click Search to determine if the user is assigned to access the external or clearinghouse community, and to see the capabilities assigned to the user.
