Novell GROUPWISE 7 - USERS Manual page 5

Post Office: Select the post office where you want the user's mailbox created.
Mailbox ID: The mailbox ID (also referred to as the GroupWise user ID or username) defaults
to the eDirectory username. You can change it if necessary.
Do not use any of the following invalid characters in the mailbox ID:
ASCII characters 0-13
Asterisk *
At sign @
Braces { }
Colon :
4 Click Apply to create the account.
You must create the account by clicking Apply (or OK) before you can modify any of the other
fields, including the GroupWise password.
5 If desired, modify any of the following optional fields:
Visibility: Select the level at which you want the user to be visible in the Address Book.
System enables the user to be visible to all users in your GroupWise system. Domain enables
the user to be visible to all users in the same domain as the user. Post Office enables the user to
be visible to all users on the same post office as the user. Setting the visibility level to None
means that no users can see the user in the Address Book. However, even if the user is not
displayed in the Address Book, other users can send messages to the user by typing the user's
ID (mailbox ID) in a message's To field.
External Sync Override: This option applies only if your GroupWise system links to and
synchronizes with an external system, as described in
7.x Systems" in the GroupWise 7 Multi-System Administration
Select the Synchronize According to Visibility setting if you want the user information to be
provided to the other system only if the user's visibility is set to System.
Select the Synchronize Regardless of Visibility setting if you always want the user information
provided to the other system regardless of the user's visibility level.
Select the Don't Synchronize Regardless of Visibility setting if you never want the user
information provided to the other system.
Account ID: This option applies only if you have a GroupWise gateway that supports
accounting. For more information about gateway accounting, see your
documentation (http://www.novell.com/documentation/gwgateways).
File ID: This three-letter ID is randomly generated and is non-editable. It is used for various
internal purposes within the GroupWise system, including ensuring that files associated with
the user have unique names.
Expiration Date: If you want the user's GroupWise account to no longer work after a certain
date, specify the expiration date. This date applies to the user's GroupWise account only; it is
independent of the eDirectory account expiration date (User object > Restrictions > Login
Restrictions). For more information, see
page 243.
