Setting up proxy access

Scenario

In this scenario user 1 is going on holiday. She wants to allow user 2 to check her emails while she is away in case there are any important messages.

Procedure

Working on User 1’s machine

Click: Tools > Options (as below)

Click ‘Security’ in the next window and select the ‘Proxy Access’ tab

Choose the ‘Address Book’ icon and search for the person who you want to allow to access your email

Click ‘Select Address’ when you have highlighted the correct person

Select the person’s name under ‘Account List’ and give them the permissions you wish them to have. Typically we give them all permissions by checking all the boxes except the two for subscribing (checking these will lead to you being alerted every time an email is received by the main account).

Moving to User 2’s machine

Click the person icon in the top left of the GroupWise screen:

Select Proxy and the Address Book icon

Search for the person whose email you wish to check

You can toggle between the two email accounts by clicking the ‘person’ icon and clicking the name of the account.
