# Email Account Sharing in Groupware

This source provides technical and legal instructions for sharing email accounts within the Universität Greifswald Groupware environment.

## Key Content
- **Legal Restrictions**: Explicitly forbids sharing personal email accounts with third parties per the URZ statutes (§6 Abs. 2 Nr. 3).
- **Permitted Use Cases**: 
    - Sharing **Funktionsaccounts** (functional accounts) with multiple natural persons.
    - Mutual sharing between a user's own staff account and their own student account (validated via name and date of birth).
- **Technical Implementation**: Access is managed via the "Permissions" (Berechtigungen) tab in the email account properties within the Groupware email module.
- **Permission Levels**: Defines four granular levels of access: Read only, Deputy, Use Account, and Manage.

## Support
Technical issues are handled via the URZ ticket system (integrated into Groupware) or the URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
