Set up your Webex organization

We send an email to the address that you specify. Follow the link to sign in to https://admin-usgov.webex.com.

This becomes your first full administrator account for the organization.

As part of creating your Webex for Government organization, we claim the email domain of the addresses that you specify. Claim any additional email domains when you add users. By claiming the email domains belonging to your organization, you ensure that your users don’t create their personal accounts on www.webex.com using their work addresses. You also ensure that your organization’s content policies are continuously applicable to employees when they create or share content on Webex.

If you need to maintain multiple organizations with users that share an email domain, contact Cisco Support.

If you have your own identity provider (IdP) in your organization, you can integrate the SAML IdP with your Control Hub, Webex site, and Unified CM environments for SSO. SSO lets your users use a single, common set of credentials for Webex Meetings, Webex App, and other applications in your organization.

You can set up a default template that automatically assigns licenses to new users.

With Hybrid Calendar Service, you can connect your Office 365 environment to Cisco Webex. This integration makes it easier to schedule and join meetings, especially on mobile and Webex devices. The service requires no plugins.

Users can add Cisco Webex Room and Desk devices and Webex Boards to a meeting to make conferencing resources available. If the device is enabled for the Hybrid Calendar Service, the green Join button appears on the device. (The Join button is also known as "One Button to Push." The button is available to devices that are registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and managed by Cisco TelePresence Management Suite.)

The Webex Meetings Scheduler lets Microsoft 365 users schedule Webex meetings or Webex Personal Room meetings directly from Microsoft Outlook, in any browser. For user help, see Schedule and Join Meetings with Cisco Webex Meetings Scheduler for Microsoft 365.

Effective meeting security begins with administering your Webex site. We've collected best practices for a secure environment, yet you can tailor your site to your organization needs.

Session types are like meeting templates that people in your organization can use to quickly schedule meetings.

Site administrators can manage recordings to help optimize available storage.

Pinpoint and troubleshoot meetings where users are experiencing problems. You can drill down into meetings on a per participant basis and see detailed information about the audio, video, and sharing quality of a meeting. You can even see the CPU usage of the device a participant used to join the meeting.

As a Pro Pack customer, you can use Control Hub to specify how long to retain your content before deletion.

Content older than the retention policy or content exceeding storage quotas is subject to deletion. This is important because when you keep information around a long time, you increase the chances of confidential information being accessible.

Configure access to your enterprise content management platform in Control Hub. Provide users with permission to use your enterprise content management platform in Webex App. Users can only use an approved enterprise management platform to upload and manage files and content in Webex App.

As a compliance officer, you can use Control Hub to search through any conversation in Webex App. You can look for a specific person in your company and find content they've shared. You can also search through a specific space and then generate a report of your findings. This way, you can make sure people are complying with both outside regulatory requirements and your internal policies.

Register Webex directly to your Cisco Unified Communications Manager call control environment (on-premises enterprise or Unifed CM Cloud for FedRAMP).

Users can use Webex as a softphone for Calling features, such as Hold and Resume.

These groups make it easier to organize and search for devices later.
