Setting up Proxy access in
GroupWise
Use Proxy to manage another user's Mailbox and Calendar. Proxy lets you perform
various actions, such as reading, accepting, and declining items on behalf
of another user, within the restrictions the other user sets.
Managing another user's mailbox requires two actions: first,
the owner of the Mailbox must give you access; and second, you must place
the owner's name in your Proxy List.
|
Step 1. Give access to your
GW account
|
|
1. In GroupWise, go to Edit> Preferences> Security.
Change the tab to "Proxy Access.
2. Granting Proxy Access to other people.
- Enter the person's name or select them from the Address Book
by clicking the "book" button on the right side of the
"name" box.
- Click the "Add User" button.
|
 |
|
You use these settings to grant other people access to your mailbox.
Normally the settings for "Minimum User Access" will always be blank.
Warning! If you check any of these
checkboxes while "Minimum User Access" is highlited you will be
granting rights for anyone in the GroupWise system to view your
mailbox. Don't check any of these unless you're sure it's what you
want to do.
|
|
3. Give proxy rights.
- Highlight the person you just added (see warning in step
1).
- Check the checkboxes for the level of access you want to give.
- Warning! If you give other
people access to write messages from you, the message will
be indistinguishable from a message you send yourself. The recipient
of such a message will have no way of knowing that another person
actually sent the message for you.
- Click "OK".

Step 2. Adding someone to
your proxy list
|
|
1. Locate and click on "Proxy" button
- go to the lower left corner of GroupWise and click on the button
that looks like a little man.
- Click on the word "Proxy...".
|
|
|
2. Select the name of the person you want to Proxy to.
- Type the name of the person you want, or click the "book"
button on the right side of the "name" box to search the
address book.
- Select the name of the person who has granted you rights to
their account by pressing "OK".
- If you have been granted rights by the person whom you are trying
to proxy, a message will come up letting you know that you have
been granted access. If you were not given rights ahead of time,
it will tell you that you are denied.
|
 |
|
3. Switching between your account and the proxy account
- When you want to switch back and forth between your account
and the proxy account click on the little man in the bottom left
corner of GroupWise.
- Click on the name of the other account.
- A new GroupWise window will open with the Proxied account.
- The Proxy will remain until you delete it from the list, even
if you close GroupWise.
