An MC service user is identified by an MC service ID. An MC service ID is associated with at least one MC service user profile and can be associated with multiple MC service user profiles (identified by an index and optionally a profile name). This is depicted in
Figure 10.1.4.1-1.
For an MC service user there can be multiple MC service IDs with the constraint that only one MC service ID exists for a given MC service for that MC service user (e.g. MC service ID X may correspond to MCPTT service and MC service ID Y may correspond to MCVideo service). When the MC service provider requires to support a single MC service ID for all MC services, the value of the multiple MC service IDs is the same (e.g. value of MC service ID X is same as MC service ID Y).
In the case where a single MC service ID is configured for a MC service user for authorized access to multiple MC services, the MC service UE and MC service server shall include the indication of the specific MC service during the communication.
For the same MC service user there can be different MC service user profiles active on different MC service UEs or different MC service user profiles active on the same MC service UE at different times. The MC service user may have one or more specific MC service user profiles defined for use in migration cases, whereby there may be more than one MC service user profiles defined for migration for that MC service user e.g. so that different MC service user profiles can be applied in different partner MC systems. The appropriate MC service user profile for migration for the relevant partner MC system will be provided to the partner MC system by the procedure. For both the cases of MC service on the primary MC system of the MC service user, and MC service when migrating to a partner MC system, only one MC service user profile per MC service client is active at a time.
All MC service user profiles associated with an MC service user are stored in the MC service user database. Different parts of the MC service user profile are provisioned by the Mission Critical Organization, by the MC service provider and by the MC service user, respectively.
MC service user profile information is downloaded to the MC service UE. The MC service user profile configuration may include more than one information exchange e.g. the configuration management server may provide the MC service UE with a list of some or all enabled MC service user profiles to allow the MC service user to select one (where the list may contain a subset of the MC service user profile information sufficient for the MC service user to distinguish which MC service user profile to select).
When an MC service user is receiving MC service in its primary MC system, the MC service user profile provisioning in the UE is initiated by the configuration management client (e.g. upon MC service user authentication or on reconnect to the MC service), or initiated by the configuration management server (e.g. due to role change or organization change). For a migrating MC service user, the MC service user profile provisioning in the UE is initiated when the MC service user attempts to migrate to a partner MC system, and requests the MC service user profile from a nominated configuration management server in the partner MC system, prior to requesting service authorization from a partner MC service server.
The partner MC system may require that the MC service user profiles for migrating MC service users have parameters imposed by that partner MC system according to its operating and security policies. For example, there may be limitations in the locations at which migrating MC users can receive service, specific priority levels for migrating MC service users or certain groups to which the migrating MC service users require access. The partner MC system applies any necessary modifications to the MC service user profile received from the primary MC system of the MC service user in accordance with its local requirements. This local profile will be stored, and will be provided to the configuration management server in the partner MC system in order to distribute it to the configuration management client of the migrating MC service user. This modified profile may be sent to the primary MC system of the migrating MC service user so that the primary MC system can validate the modified profile before it is provided to the migrating MC service UE. The modified MC service user profile will subsequently be provided to the MC service server in the partner MC system when the migrating MC user attempts service authorization.
