Create a mass device endpoint for each COG

To distribute messages to other COGs, you must create a 
BlackBerry AtHoc
 mass device endpoint for your local COG and for each target COG to which you send alerts. You can name each user something relevant like "COG-ContraCostaCounty_<cogid>" or "COG-MyCOG_<cogid>".
When possible, plan to use consistent usernames for each mass communication endpoint across each COG.
You must have administrator, advanced alert manager, or end-user manager privileges to create end users.
