Giving a User Access to Another User's Folders

Top  Previous  Next

Select the Manager tab on the toolbar and click the Manage Users button, or select Manage Users from the Manager menu.

 

You can provide a user access to one or more other user's folders.  In PhonePad 4 this was known as "Receptionist Mode".

 

This access is ideal for receptionists, executive assistants, office managers, and others who need access to other users messages.  The access can be given and revoked at any time by a Manager or Administrator.

 

Select a user from the list and click the Access button

The username you selected will be displayed in the User Access window's title bar, as shown above.  In this example we selected Abigail, because we want to give Abigail access to other user's folders.

 

To give her access to Alfred's folders, we select Alfred from the list on the left and then check the Inbox check box.  We can then go ahead and select additional users to give Abigail access to if we want.  Once the OK button is clicked she will immediately have access (although she may need to restart PhonePad).

 

Note: The only folder option in this release of PhonePad is the Inbox.  However, other folders will be added in future releases.
