The administrator can create conference rooms and news channels for end users. However, with the proper privileges, end users can do this also. For more information about adding policies to give end users access to create conference rooms and news channels, see Chapter 17, Managing Instant Messaging and Presence Policies. End users who create a conference room or a news channel by default have Manage access, enabling them to administer the conference room or the news channel.
Listed below are tasks that you can perform in Instant Messenger to administer the conference rooms and the news channels. For more information on performing these tasks, see the Online Help.
