1. Setting up permissions for a Project Account

These instructions assume that you have already set up Outlook 2007 to access your personal Nexus account. If you are not using Outlook 2007 for your own account, then you can skip the section about creating an additional profile.

1. Before you begin, you need to ensure that the account is listed in the Nexus Global Address List. To do this, click [Tools/Address Book] on the Outlook menu, and then find the project account by name. If your account is not listed, please contact the OUCS Help Centre. You will also need to know the username and Single Sign-On password of the account.
2. In order to grant appropriate permissions to the Nexus users who are entitled to access the account, you will need to log in to Nexus as the Project Account. If you are already using Outlook 2007 to connect to your personal account, you will need to create a new Profile to access the Project account.
3. Follow the instructions about adding a new profile to create a new Outlook profile. At the end of these instructions you will be directed to the instructions for setting up your Nexus account. Please follow these too but remember to use the Project Account's username and password instead of your personal one. When Outlook prompts you to log in, it will remember your personal username so you will need to manually change this.
4. You should now have Outlook running, connected to the Project Account. You can now set permissions for other users (including yourself), by adding Delegates and/or sharing folders. Please see the instructions for delegating access for further details. Please note that changes to delegates' permissions can take up to half an hour to become active on the server.
5. Once you have finished adding delegates and modifying permissions, you will probably want to reset your Profiles so that Outlook automatically logs into your personal account. To do this, close down Outlook and open the Windows Control Panel by clicking [Start->Settings->Control Panel]. Double-click the Mail icon to open the Mail Setup screen:

   Click on the Show Profiles... button, and then select the option Always use this profile, and then select your personal account from the drop-down list.

   The next time you run Outlook, it will open your personal account without prompting. Note however that it remembers the username that you last used to log in, so you will need to change this on the login screen.
6. If you want to access the Project Account again, you can return to the Profiles screen and re-enable prompting.

2. Accessing a Project Account

If you are entitled to access a Project Account, there are several options available depending on the permissions that the account owner has granted you. These are outlined on the Acting as a delegate page.
