Proxy Users
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. As a proxy user, you do not need the mailbox owner's password because the mailbox
owner grants you the access rights he or she wants you to have in the mailbox. There is currently no
limit to the number of proxy accounts you can allow or manage.
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

10.1 Granting Proxy Rights as a Mailbox Owner

Before you can act as a proxy for someone, that person must give you proxy rights in his or her
Access List. As a mailbox owner, you can assign each user different rights to your calendaring and
messaging information. For example, 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. Proxies cannot see your Contacts folder at any time. In addition, proxies cannot
archive items from your mailbox because the archive directory is typically a local directory that a
proxy cannot access.
