Network Planner - Persona

Dear community,

 

Can someone help / guide me through the permissions a certain persona can have, using the Team network planner? Especially the ones starting with 'Conference'?

 

Thank you!

  • Hi BenVdP

    See these resources

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoftteams/network-planner
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/tutorial-network-planner-example

    Think of the persona as a type of user in your organisation. The persona has permission to do the following - make audio calls, make video calls, screen share etc. You would create a persona of what a typical person does and then put a number against that persona (I.e. 30 users fit this persona) to work out the bandwidth required.

    For example

    Persona 1 - 20 users - use Audio/Video/Screen sharing but not conferencing
    Persona 2 - 15 users - use Audio/Video/Screen Sharing/Conferencing
    Persona 3 - 5 users - all

    You maybe just have one persona - many small businesses typically have one persona who have access to everything

    Hope that makes sense and helps you to build your network plan

    Best, Chris

      ChrisHoardMVP, Thanks for the detailed information. Although I went through the resources but didn't find any description for the differences between e.g. Audio and Conf audio.

       

      So what I'm looking for is the difference between:

       

      • Audio vs. Conf audio
      • Video vs. Conf video
      • Screen sharing vs. Conf screen sharing

      Is it that audio, video and screen sharing is referring to 1-on-1 calls and conference is referring to a call with multiple persons attending?
