53.10 Disabling and Enabling GroupWise Accounts

You can disable a GroupWise account so that the user cannot access his or her mailbox until you enable the account again. This might be necessary when a user leaves the company and no longer needs access to the mailbox.

  1. In the GroupWise Admin console, browse to and click the name of a user.

  2. Click the Accounts tab, then select Disable Logins.

  3. Click Save, then click Close to return to the main Admin console window.

  4. (Conditional) If the user is logged in to his or her Online mailbox when you disable logins, disconnect the user.

    For instructions, see Disconnecting a User Session from the POA.

  5. To enable the user’s account when access is again permitted, deselect Disable Logins, click Save, then click Close.

While a user’s account is disabled, other users to whom proxy rights have been granted can still access the mailbox. This is convenient for reviewing the contents of the mailbox of a departed employee and pulling out those messages that are of use to the incoming employee.
