Activation Support
In this popup you can decide which supporter of onOffice should get access to your version. You can also define how long access should be allowed.
With this tab you can define which onOffice employee or group gets access to your version as a supporter. Mailbox access and data export are Additional access rights for the supporter.
The Mailbox Access option can be enabled by administrators only. By activating the right, the support employee gets the right to assign the support user to a mailbox and to access it. This mailbox assignment is only automatically resolved after the activation period has expired. If the assignment is not resolved manually during the activation period, any other activated support staff member will also have access to this mailbox. He simply cannot assign new mailboxes without the right.
When assigning the “Data export” right, the support user gets rights to export data. Data export is possible only for the assigned period.
Please note that the activation time starts when you click on “Activate now”.
On this tab you can see for the last 6 months which user has enabled an onOffice employee / onOffice group for support access in your version.
The tab “Overview Logins” shows the exact time when the onOffice employee logged in and the reason for this.
Activation of the support access in 3 steps
- Who should get
access Select on the first tab Activation an onOffice employee / onOffice group in the first selector. - What can the supporter see and for how long?

For the duration of 4 hours the onOffice employee can then access your onOffice enterprise version as a supporter. When the time is up, the user is automatically logged out.
