From the Delegation Tab, you can assign a user to be your delegate. A delegate can act on your behalf with management-level access to your data based on permissions you grant that delegate. Use this tab to grant a user the ability to not only view, but actually manage items within your personal workspace.
From the Beehive Central left menu, click Access Rights.
From the Access Rights page, you can:
Assign/Change Permissions:
Assign/Change Delegation:
This section will help you understand available permissions, their definitions, and applications. You may want to refer back to this section as a guideline for setting permissions and delegation, and knowing what access rights you are actually granting for each service.
This section covers the following topics:
Use the Permissions tab (open by default) when you want to grant access to one or more users to view items in your personal workspace.
This section covers the following topics:
Note:
Certain exceptions and limitations may apply to access rights you set for users. For more information, see Access Rights Exceptions and Limitations.To begin adding/editing users and assigning permissions:
As a quick way to grant the same access rights to all users, you can select the All Users option. Generally, users have certain viewing rights, and the All Users option defines what rights are available. (By default, the option is not selected.) When you select All Users, the associated general access rights are extended to all users. Depending on your configuration, you may have the ability to edit these rights to change it for all users. However, the option cannot be deleted.
Caution:
The All Users option is not available in Delegation. Settings for a particular user override the "All users" option in Permissions.If you want certain users to have different access rights than all other users, click Add User to add them individually to the list, and select rights for each.
Whether you add a user, or select a user to edit their permissions, you can assign or change access rights for anyone at any time.
User Permission Types (Access Rights)
When you select a user, for each service, you can select from the following permissions:
Standard – Inherits the top-level item's sensitivities. (When the "All Users" option is selected, access rights for all users are equivalent to Deny for a selected delegate on the Delegation tab.)
Review – When selected, "Normal" and "Public" sensitivities are selected. (See Sensitivity Levels.) Selected sensitivities allow the user to review items that have that sensitivity. Sensitivities not selected allow the user "Discover" access to items that have those sensitivities.
Discover – Similar to Review except no sensitivities are selected. (See Sensitivity Levels.) Any sensitivities you select allow the user to review items that have that sensitivity. Sensitivities left clear allow the user view access to items that have those sensitivities. (Discover access applied to Inbox, Journal, and Notes items prevents users from viewing those items. See Services and Access Guidelines.)
Deny – Denies access to folders for the selected service. No sensitivities are selected, which denies users any access to items with that sensitivity.
When you allow users access, the following default sensitivities are available to assign to items in each service area:
Normal – Allows users to discover items, but denies read, write, delete access, and prohibits sending items to any user.
Public – Allows users to discover and read items, but denies write, delete access, and prohibits sending items to any user.
Confidential – Allows users to discover items, but denies read, write, delete access, and prohibits sending items to any user.
Private – Allows users to discover items, but denies read, write, delete access, and prohibits sending items to any user.
Personal – Allows users to discover items, but denies read, write, delete access, and prohibits sending items to any user.
Note:
Normal, Confidential, Private, and Personal sensitivities are the same. Only Public allows users to not only discover, but also read items on your behalf. However, all sensitivities prohibit the user from sending items to any other user.Each service operates differently according to selected sensitivities and items marked with those sensitivities whether you use Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, or Oracle Beehive Webmail.
Services and Access Guidelines
Depending on the permissions you select for each service, one or more sensitivities are automatically associated with some permissions (by default). Permissions are based on their sensitivity, which means access is controlled by any sensitivities you may have already applied to those items in Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook or Oracle Beehive Webmail.
As a result, many variables can affect how access is actually granted for each service. The variances may not be apparent when determining which permissions to use. In general, the following rules, options, or exceptions apply (when default sensitivities are selected/left clear):
Calendar
Selected option allows the selected user to invite you to meetings. (Not available for Delegation.)
Review permission: Normal and Public sensitivities selected. Allows the user to review items in your Calendar based on their sensitivity.
Discover permission: No sensitivities are selected. Allows the user to view start and end times on your calendar events only. Otherwise, access on calendar items with sensitivities selected does not allow read access.
Tasks
Selected option allows the selected user to assign you tasks.
Note:
Selected sensitivities for Tasks can be read, cleared sensitivities do not allow read access. This differs from Calendar sensitivities in which Discover access on calendar items with sensitivities selected does not allow read access.Review permission: Normal and Public sensitivities selected. Allows the user to review your tasks based on their sensitivity.
Discover permission: (No sensitivities are selected.) Allows the user to view start and end times on calendar events only.
Discover permission: (Not available for Tasks.)
Inbox, Journal, Notes
Note:
Due to the service implementation, permissions only apply to documents in your Inbox, not to e-mail messages. See also Access Rights Exceptions and Limitations.Review permission: Normal and Public sensitivities selected. Allows the user to read (but not send) documents in your Inbox, Journal, or Notes based on their sensitivity.
Discover permission: (No sensitivities are selected.) Prevents the user from reading any items in your Inbox, Journal, or Notes folders.
Note:
Unlike Calendar, cleared sensitivities do not allow read access due to the service implementation.Contacts (Address Book)
Discover permission: (No sensitivities are selected.) Allows the user access at the folder level to sub-folders within your contacts (Address books) folder.
Note:
Unlike Calendar, cleared sensitivities do not allow read access due to the service implementation.To add a user:
On the Access Rights page, click the Permissions tab (open by default).
On the User List, click Add User.
Enter the name of the user, then click Search. The user (or a list of possible matches) appears in the box.
Select the user you want to add, then click Add -> to move the user to the Shared Users box.
Click Next.
Select the sharing permissions for each folder you want to grant to the user.
Optionally, select whether the user may also read items marked Normal, Public, Private, Confidential, or Personal.
For Calendar and Tasks, indicate whether the user can invite you to meetings (Calendar), and assign you tasks (Tasks).
Click Finish.
To edit a user:
On the Access Rights page, click the Permissions tab.
From the User List, select the user you want to edit shared permissions for, (or select the check box on the header row to select all users) and click Edit Selected.

To remove a user:
On the Access Rights page, click the Permissions tab.
From the User List, select the user you want to remove (or select the check box on the header row to select all users), and click Remove Selected. The user is removed from the User List.
Use the Delegation tab to allow another user to act on your behalf, as a delegate.
This section covers the following topics:
Note:
Certain exceptions and limitations may apply to access rights you set for delegates. For more information, see Access Rights Exceptions and Limitations.To begin adding/editing delegates and granting permissions:
Users cannot manage items in your Calendar, Tasks, Inbox, and Contacts. When you want someone else to manage these services for you, you need to select a delegate.
For example, while you are on vacation, you can add or select a delegate (from the Delegation tab) to manage services such as documents in your Inbox, meetings on your calendar, or contacts in your address books. The delegate can then act on your behalf by not only viewing, but managing data associated with the services you select.
Delegate Permission Types (Access Rights)
When you select a delegate, for each service, you can select from the following permissions:
Standard – Inherits the top-level item's sensitivities. On the Permissions tab, when the "All Users" option is selected, access rights for all users are equivalent to Deny for the selected delegate.
Manage – (Delegation only). Default permission for all services in the Delegation tab. When Manage is selected, "Normal" and "Public" sensitivities are selected. (See Sensitivity Levels.) Selected sensitivities allow the delegate to manage items that have that sensitivity. Sensitivities not selected allow the delegate "Discover" access to items that have those sensitivities.
Review – When selected, "Normal" and "Public" sensitivities are selected. (See Sensitivity Levels.) Selected sensitivities allow the delegate to review items that have that sensitivity. Sensitivities not selected allow the delegate "Discover" access to items that have those sensitivities.
Discover – Similar to Review except no sensitivities are selected. (See Sensitivity Levels.) Any sensitivities you select allow the delegate to review items that have that sensitivity. Sensitivities left clear allow the delegate view access to items that have those sensitivities. (Discover access applied to Inbox, Journal, and Notes items prevents delegates from viewing those items. See Services and Access Guidelines.)
Deny – Denies access to folders for the selected service. No sensitivities are selected, which denies delegates any access to items with that sensitivity.
When you assign a delegate to act on your behalf, the following default sensitivities are assigned to items in each service area:
Normal – Allows delegate to discover items, but denies read, write, delete access, and prohibits sending items to any user.
Public – Allows delegate to discover and read items, but denies write, delete access, and prohibits sending items to any user.
Confidential – Allows delegate to discover items, but denies read, write, delete access, and prohibits sending items to any user.
Private – Allows delegate to discover items, but denies read, write, delete access, and prohibits sending items to any user.
Personal – Allows delegate to discover items, but denies read, write, delete access, and prohibits sending items to any user.
Note:
Normal, Confidential, Private, and Personal sensitivities are the same. Only Public allows delegate to not only discover, but also read items on your behalf. However, all sensitivities prohibit the delegate from sending items to any user.Each service operates differently according to selected sensitivities and items marked with those sensitivities whether you use Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, or Oracle Beehive Webmail.

This section contains the following known limitations:
Server-side rules for e-mail that use the "Equals" condition (or "Does Not Equal" exception) for "To" and "Cc" fields, may not result in any matches (or filter out messages). This is due to the server which is designed to match the full text in the "To" or "Cc" header of an e-mail, and not just the e-mail address of each recipient. When specifying rules for the "To" or "Cc" fields, it is recommended to use the "Contains" condition rather than the "Equals" condition or "Does Not Equal" exception. This is because the server looks for an exact match to the entire text in those fields. Typically, users only intend to search for (or filter out) a name or address that a specific field contains (or does not contain).
Further, since information contained in the "To" and "Cc" fields varies from one e-mail application to another, matches are less likely to occur. For example, some applications add the display name along with the e-mail address, while others omit the display name. Also, multiple recipients in the "To" or "Cc" field will not match if users set the "Equals" condition (or "Does Not Equal" exception) to just one of those addresses.
The Time Management Service does not currently support the ability to set reminders in CalDAV for events in a series–those that apply to all recurring events.
The Time Management Service does not currently support the ability to set reminders in CalDAV for day events. Additionally, reminders for holidays are not supported in events with floating times and in which time zone conversion is required in the database.
