Giving proxy rights to others for your calendar (allows others to view your calendar. You choose who you want to view your calendar, this is not done through an administrative right feature.)

  1. Start the GroupWise program. (It does not matter what view you are in)

  • To share another Calendar you own (other than your personal calendar), select that calendar at this point.
  1. Select the Tools menu from the menu bar.
  2. Select Options under the Tools menu.
  3. Double-click on the Security icon from the choices that appear.
  4. Select the Proxy Access tab from the security dialog box.
  5. Click on the Address Book icon to the right on the name box. (Make sure the Novell GroupWise Address Book is selected)
  6. Find the name or names of the individuals you wish to give access to your calendar. You can access names quickly by typing the first couple of letters in the person’s name. Double-click on the name so it appears on the right hand side of your screen. As you select individuals their names will appear in the list to the right.
  7. Click OK on the left side of the dialog box. If you do not select OK you will need to repeat the above steps.
