6.7 Giving Other People Access to Your Mailbox
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.
IMPORTANT: You can proxy for a user in a different post office or domain, as long as that person
is in the same GroupWise system. You cannot proxy for a user in a different GroupWise system.

6.7.1 Receiving Proxy Rights
Two steps must be completed before you can act as someone’s proxy. First, the person for whom you
plan to act as proxy must grant you rights in the Access List in Options. Second, you must add that
user’s name to your Proxy List so you can access his or her Mailbox or Calendar.
When these two steps are complete, you can open your Proxy List and click the name of the person
you’re proxying for whenever you need to manage his or her Mailbox or Calendar.
6.7.2 Assigning Proxy Rights to Another User
Use the Access List in Security Options to give other users rights to proxy for you. You can assign
each user different rights to your calendaring and messaging information. If you want to let users
view specific information about your appointments when they do a Busy Search on your Calendar,
give them Read access for appointments. The following table describes the rights you can grant to
users:
Version Status The current status of a document. Select a status from the drop-
down list.
View Name The name of the view in which you’re
creating or reading an item. The view
names correspond to the names
displayed when you click the down-arrow
next to the item view buttons on the
toolbar. Specify a view name.
