About Delegates
WebEx Integration to Outlook supports the concept of having one user, a delegate, complete scheduling activities on behalf of another user. These activities can include scheduling, editing, canceling, and starting meetings. For example, if you need to host WebEx meetings on a regular basis, you can give your assistant permission to complete these activities for you by assigning this person as your delegate.
Things to Know Before Assigning a Delegate
- If you do not see the option to assign a delegate on your WebEx site, enable the Scheduling Permission option on your My Account page.
- Your delegate must also have a WebEx host account on your WebEx site.
- The email addresses for both your and the delegates' accounts on your WebEx site must match those in Microsoft Outlook.
- Meetings that your delegate schedules appear in your calendar. If you want to edit them, you must have WebEx Integration to Outlook installed on your computer.
- You can remove scheduling permission from your delegate at any time.
- The Scheduling Permission option applies only to WebEx Audio meetings. Another user cannot schedule Personal Conference meetings on your behalf.
Things to Know If You Are Assigned to Be a Delegate
Before you schedule a meeting for another host, ensure that:
- You have a WebEx host account. To obtain a WebEx host account, contact your administrator.
- The WebEx Integration to Outlook add-in is installed.
