| Everyday User | Someone who can request or reserve space and services in any EMS Software application other than EMS Desktop Client. All NetID users are automatically imported into the EMS meaning that a new Everyday User profile will never need to be created. These users are assigned to Process Templates and Groups. |
| Everyday User Template | Defines and controls what a user can do. The EMS uses security templates and process templates. |
| Security template | This is like a security profile as it controls which menu items are available to the users assigned to the template, which booking information fields display to them, and other information. |
| Process template | This is a booking template. It controls what users can do for different types of reservations (conference room, workspace, study room, and so on). This type of template also controls users' date/time restrictions, room security (reserve, request only, no access), and service availability (A/V, catering, and so on). |
| Groups | A group is a team of users for which reservations are made at your facilities. A group can be a single person, or an entire organization or department of people. A group is one of the core data items that you must configure so that your users can make reservations. |
