What's a Proxy?

  • Proxy Management is used to define that an employee can perform tasks on behalf of another employee.
  • Within the Proxy Management configuration it can be specified in detail, which proxy permissions are granted to the login user. This means you have to specify per user, if the user is allowed to proxy as someone else and with which permissions.
