Special user permissions are required to administrate Nimbus. Please refer to the following chapters:

  • Read about Role Access Concept to know how Nimbus syncs to your user directory and grants user access.
  • As Administrator you might also want to know about Required App Permissions for Nimbus services and features.
 

Overview

The Nimbus administration opens the "Overview" by default for all users of the Administrator Group.

Tenant Admin Overview - Statistics on Services users

💡 Note: This view differs slightly depending on your administration role. Multi-Tenant Admins get a prior Tenant selection while Single-Tenant Admins will directly be presented with the list of services within their Tenant.

Top Area Widgets

Widget

🔍 Learn more about this by visiting Nimbus Installation.

You can think of this widget as describing as a service's lifetime jourey, which starts with "Uncompleted" and ends with "Pending deletion" of a service.

The states (from top to bottom) are as follows: 

INC Service Provisioning Status

UNCOMPLETED

The new service has been created and Service Settings can be accessed for further configuration. They exist in the Nimbus database. but still needs to be registered in Microsoft Azure using the provisioning script. Doing so will create a resource account / application instance.


🔍 Also see: Nimbus Installation and Provisioning via Microsoft PowerShell

☝ Note: Any services remaining in this state for 30 days will be removed automatically.

SERVICES APPLIED The provisioning is completed and the service is ready to be called. Nimbus will distribute calls among the service and log them for reporting statistics.
SERVICES RUNNING The service has been called and calls have been recorded in the Nimbus database.
PSTN APPLIED The service is now reachable via PSTN.  
✅ Numbers require a PSTN phone license to operate. Also see Installation Prerequisites > PSTN licensing.
PSTN RUNNING The service has been called via PSTN and calls have been recorded in the Nimbus reporting database.
SUSPENDED 

A service user has opted to "Remove Nimbus completely" from the services tab

🔍 Also see: Uninstalling Nimbus.

☝ Note: After 30 days in this state the service will be → "Pending deletion".

PENDING DELETION

When any admin clicks and confirms “Delete” on a service. Further processing depends on the service provisioning state:

  • A not yet provisioned service is automatically removed within one hour.
  • A provisioned service will be removed with the next run of the Provisioning script. This will remove the resource account and any assigned licenses.

☝ Note: Once de-registered from Azure the affected services and their settings are removed permanently.

💡 Good to know: A service that pending for deletion can still be restored by Luware IF it has not yet been completely de-registered from Azure OR completely removed from your local services instance.

 
 

 

Total Sessions

Aggregated volume of call sessions all services.

💡 Mouse over the diagram to get additional infos.

Total Users

Lists users which have been set "Active" at least once during the shown period.

How to set the "Active" state?

🔍 A user's "Active" state can be set to enabled via either of the following means: 

  • Via each user's own Dashboard in any Nimbus service-enabled channel.
  • Via the Nimbus personal app > Services Overview view, where service members can manage the active state for multiple services simultaneously.

💡 Good to know:

  • Each service has an individual Service Settings where new users can be set "Active" by default. This may contribute to the statistics even if the (new) service members haven't set themselves active on their own.
  • Even if users just set themselves "Active" - without taking any calls or handling other Nimbus tasks - they will still count towards this metric.
  • Service owners can also manage the "Active" state of their members.
