Overview

For organizations where Zoom Rooms are spread across multiple buildings or floors, Zoom administrators can create a hierarchical structure of installation locations to manage them more efficiently.
You can create different levels of countries, cities, campuses, buildings, floors, etc., depending on your organization’s needs.
Account owners and administrators can manage the Zoom Rooms settings in their accounts one by one or all at once. You can also manage by group using the created hierarchy.

Prerequisites

Zoom Rooms version 4.0 or later

Creating a hierarchical structure

The Zoom administrator can define the location of all Zoom Rooms under the account. You can also configure different settings for each hierarchy.

• The highest level is your account. Defines default settings for all Zoom Rooms.
• Intermediate levels are countries/regions, states, cities, campuses, buildings, and floors. The account owner or designated Zoom Rooms administrator can combine these as needed to create a hierarchical structure. These mid-level hierarchies are used to configure settings that are common to grouped Zoom Rooms.
• The lowest level hierarchy is the individual Zoom Rooms. Account owners, Zoom Rooms administrators, and owners configured for each Zoom Rooms can configure settings specific to their respective Zoom Rooms. In addition, the room can inherit the settings from any level in the upper hierarchy.

For example, consider an organization that has two two-story buildings. Assuming there are two Zoom Rooms on each floor, the hierarchy would look like this:

• Building A
  • Floor A1
    • Conference room A1α
    • Conference room A1β
  • Floor A2
    • Conference room A2α
    • Conference room A2β
• Building B
  • Floor B1
    • Conference room B1α
    • Conference room B1β
  • Floor B2
    • Conference room B2α
    • Conference room B2β

Understand configuration inheritance in Zoom Rooms

If you do not change the settings in the middle-level hierarchy, all Zoom Rooms will inherit the account-level settings. Since the same setting value is reflected in all rooms, it is suitable for managing a small number of rooms by one person.

If you want to apply different Zoom webinar window smaller, other options will move to [ Details ]. There are also new settings for Building A and Building B, change the settings at the building hierarchy level. The image will be as follows.

For example, in the account settings, the email address for [Support Email] is set to ” support@mycompany.com “, but the Zoom Rooms in Building A is operated by an administrator with the email address ” support_buildingA@mycompany.com “. If you have set ” support_buildingA@mycompany.com ” in the [Support Email] item of Building A Zoom webinar window smaller, other options will move to [ Details ]. There are also new settings, both floors A1 and A2 will be set and it will be installed in Building A. The email address of ” support_buildingA@mycompany.com ” is also reflected in the [Support Email] setting item of the four Zoom Rooms Zoom webinar window smaller, other options will move to [ Details ]. There are also new settings</span>. In Building B, we haven’t changed the Zoom webinar window smaller, other options will move to [ Details ]. There are also new settings at the middle level, so ” support@mycompany.com ” will continue to apply to the Support Email settings.
