Delegation (proxying e-mail 'On Behalf Of')
There is an excellent tutorial on Delegation and other topics at this Mac Microsoft site.
In short, some delegation facts:
- You can read and respond to e-mail, set calendar appointments, and share address books of others who allow you to do so. You can’t delegate to someone who isn’t on the MUSC Exchange system.
- If you respond to a message as a delegate, it will be obvious to the recipient that it was you who acted on the other’s behalf. (OK, so it's possible to override this behavior, but you have to ask someone at OCIO-IS (Help Desk 792-9700) to set it up for you.
- You can only take action on e-mail that is in the delegator’s Inbox. No other mailbox will be available.
- The delegate and the delegator both have to take action.
- There are four levels of delegation. From most permissive to most restrictive are: Edit, Author, Reviewer, None
- Even if you have full rights to view a calendar, the delegator can make an entry “private” so that you won’t be able to see what it is. You will see the time blocked out, but not a description of the event.
- The place to get started on delegation is under your Entourage-> Account Settings -> Exchange -> delegate (tab)
