Using Proxy Rights

Details on GroupWise proxy versus Exchange permission rights

GroupWise Full Access proxy rights do not have an exact equivalent to the Exchange permission system, therefore proxy users will be granted permission to the user's Exchange mailbox on a folder by folder basis.

The GroupWise access rights to Exchange folder permission is mapping is made as below:

GroupWise Access Rights | Exchange folder(s)

• Mail/phone | Inbox, Draft, SentItems, JunkEmail, Outbox, DeletedItems, and any other user created folder
• Appointments | Calendar
• Reminder notes | Notes
• Tasks | Tasks

Additionally, "Folder visible" permission to the Exchange user's root folder will be granted to the proxy user.

The mapping from proxy Permissions in GroupWise to Permission levels in Exchange is:

Permission in GroupWise | Permission level in Exchange

• Read | Reviewer
• Write | Contributor
• Read and Write | Publishing Editor

If the proxy user in GroupWise has been granted the following rights to a mailbox:

• Read and write to mails, appointments, notes, tasks
• Modify options/rules/folders
• Read items marked private

Then in Exchange/O365 the user will be granted full access to that mailbox.

1. Right click on a folder
