12.4 Viewing and Editing Your Proxy Assignments

The My Proxy Assignments action allows you to view your proxy assignments. If you are a Provisioning Administrator, Provisioning Manager, or Team Manager, you can also use this action to edit proxy assignments.

Only Provisioning Administrators, Provisioning Managers, and Team Managers can assign proxies, as described below:

  • The Provisioning Administrator and the Provisioning Manager have the ability to define proxy assignments for any user in the organization.

  • A Team Manager might have the ability to define proxy settings for users on his team, depending on how the team was defined. The proxies must also be within the team. To define a proxy, a Team Manager must use the Team Proxy Assignments action.

If a Team Manager needs to select a proxy who is not within the team, the manager must request that the Provisioning Administrator or Provisioning Manager define the proxy relationship.
