Granting Proxy Access

To give another person access to your GroupWise account, you must first give them the rights to do so. You decide how many, or how few rights each person gets.

Here's how:

Select Tools from the GroupWise main screen menu bar
Select Options...
Double-click the Security icon
Select the Proxy Access tab.

Enter the name of  the User(s) you wish to grant access to:
Click the Address Book icon
   (located at the right end of the Name: area, above)

    1. Double-click a name, or names 
        (from the Novell GroupWise Address Book).
    2. Click OK (you'll be returned to the Proxy Access screen above)
    3. This person(s) should now appear on your Access List (like Ann, above).

Grant this person Access Rights:

    1. Select the person from the Access List: using your mouse
    2. Click the appropriate check boxes in the Access Rights section
      (see example, above)
    3. Click OK

Proxying into another GroupWise Account

If you have been granted access rights to someone else's GroupWise account, you can now Proxy into that account. Here's how:

From the GroupWise main window, click the Online icon (shown below).

Choose the name of the person you want to Proxy (the example shows 'Karen Carpenter' has been chosen). If this is the first time you've Proxied this person, their name will not be listed yet , so click 'Proxy...' and choose their name using the Addressbook icon to the right of 'Name: '.
