How to request a GroupWise Resource
(Group E-mail account and calendar)

A GroupWise resource account is very much like your own personal GroupWise account but might be used when you would like several people to monitor one account or use a shared calendar.

To request a GroupWise resource, please submit the following information to the IT Service Desk ( or phone ext. 1-4000).

• A preferred account name, which must be in all caps with spaces represented by underscores or without spacing: i.e. ASK_MCG or ASKMCG
• Name of the person that will be the resource account owner
• Brief description of the account

The resource account will be created within 5 business days and notification will be sent by e-mail.

Once you have been notified of the resource account creation, you will want to set up proxy access:

• As the owner, proxy into this resource
• Go under tools | options | security | proxy access, and grant the appropriate groups or individuals proxy rights to this resource
