22.23 Proxy Administrator

If an administrator grants a client proxy administrator access, the client can log in to the proxy console on that machine to approve decryption requests, external sharing requests, and temporary offline requests.

22.23.1 Login

Clients with proxy administrator permission can right-click the client icon in the system tray, select "Approval Management Platform", and enter the administrator account and password to log in to the proxy console. The proxy console supports automatic startup.

When logging into the proxy console, checking "Auto Start" will make the console automatically launch and display the login dialog the next time the client starts and connects to the server. You can also enable this in the proxy console via Menu → Application Management → Options → Basic Settings → Login Settings → Auto Start.

If both "Auto Start" and "Auto Login" are checked and the correct administrator account and password are entered, the proxy console will automatically log in in the background when the client starts and connects to the server. The main console window will not appear, but users can open it from the client's system tray menu.

22.23.2 Approval Management

The proxy console's approval management functions are the same as the main console. It allows viewing and approving decryption, external sharing, temporary offline, and document attribute change requests; importing request files and exporting approval files; and viewing or delegating approval permissions.

22.23.3 Lock

To prevent others from using the proxy console for approvals, the administrator can lock it when away. While locked, the proxy console still receives pop-up notifications for decryption and external sharing requests, but a password is required to approve them. There are three lock modes: Direct Lock, Lock on Away, and Minimized Lock.

Direct Lock:

Select Menu → Actions → Lock to lock immediately.

Lock on Away:

Go to Menu → Application Management → Options, check "Automatically lock when user is away", and set the delay in minutes before locking (default is 15 minutes).

Minimized Lock:

Go to Menu → Application Management → Options and check "Lock when minimized to tray".
