GroupWise Training Module 9 - Proxy Access

One of the most important features of GroupWise is calendar sharing. For example, you can set up GroupWise so that your secretary can access your calendar so that he or she can set appointments for you. To share calendars, both parties must have GroupWise accounts and these two steps must be done:

1. The person who will be sharing his or her calendar must allow the access (called Proxy Access).
2. The accessing person must add the sharing person's account.

Allowing Proxy Access

To allow someone to access your GroupWise account, open your GroupWise account and do the following:

1. Click on Tools and choose Options
2. Double-click on Security
3. The Security Options box will open. Click on the Proxy Access tab. You will see the following:



4. Next to Name, use the Address Book icon to select the name.
5. Then setup the Access rights that you are giving the other person. In the picture above, the person has only been given the right to Read (view) the calendar. If you want the person to be able to create appointment on on your calendar without your input, also check the box next to Write. If you want to give the person access to your email, task, etc., set that up here as well.

Accessing the Account

After the person has given you proxy rights, follow these instructions to access the account,

1. Open GroupWise and choose File, then Proxy. The Proxy box will appear.
2. Click on the Address Book icon and choose the name of the person. If you have proxy access, you will immediately be shown their GroupWise account.

To go back to view your own GroupWise account, go to Online and choose your own name.
