WebPublisher Settings

The GroupWise^® WebAccess Agent services both GroupWise WebAccess and GroupWise WebPublisher (an optional component of GroupWise WebAccess). Use this page to configure the WebAccess Agent settings that apply to WebPublisher.

WebPublisher Proxy User
GroupWise WebPublisher requires a GroupWise user account. The GroupWise user account, referred to as the WebPublisher proxy user, serves two purposes:

• GroupWise users make documents available to GroupWise WebPublisher users by sharing the documents with the WebPublisher proxy user.
• The WebAccess Agent logs in to GroupWise through the WebPublisher proxy user. This enables the WebAccess Agent to search for and retrieve documents that have been shared with the WebPublisher proxy user.

GroupWise Mailbox ID
Enter the mailbox ID of the GroupWise user account you want to use for the WebPublisher proxy user.

Password
Enter the password of the GroupWise user account.

Library Access
GroupWise WebPublisher publishes documents from libraries where access has been granted.

Allow Access to These Libraries
This list displays the libraries that have been published. WebPublisher users can retrieve documents only from published libraries. In addition, authors must explicitly share their documents with the WebPublisher proxy user before WebPublisher users can view them.

For example, if you have a Marketing library for marketing collateral and an Accounting library for financial documents, you could publish the Marketing library but not the Accounting library. Authors of documents stored in the Marketing library would then determine whether or not their documents are shared with GroupWise WebPublisher users.

• Add: Click Add to select a library you want added to the list of published libraries.
• Properties: Select a library in the list, then click Properties to modify the library's Web display name and description. By default, the Web display name is the same as the library object ID, which might not be appropriate for external users. For example, if your Marketing library's object ID is po3-marketlib, you could change the Web display name to Marketing Collateral.
• Remove: Select a library in the list, then click Remove to remove the library from the list of published libraries.

Assign General User Access to WebPublisher Users
When sharing documents with GroupWise users, an author can assign individual access rights and general access rights (through the General User Access option). The General User Access rights determine the access for all GroupWise users who do not receive individual access rights. For example, if a document's author sets the General User Access to View, all GroupWise users with access to that library can view the document.

This option lets you determine whether or not you want WebPublisher users to have General User Access rights. For example, with this option enabled, WebPublisher users can view any documents that have General User Access set to View.
