[SOGo] Organize and accept meeting requests on behalf of another user

[Ernersto Revilla]

Hi.

This may be a bit off-topic.

One my customers (public admin) is very interested in having a solution
where some people (secretaries, aka "delegate") may act on behalf of
other people (managers, aka "delegator"). Searching a bit, I found that
his is possible in Outlook/Evolution-Exchange and Evolution-Groupwise.
The base is that the "delegate" subscribes (may be INBOX) of the
"delegator" and the Mail front-end does act in consonance:

1. Organizing Meeting/Appointment: the delegate may act on behalf of
theo delegator (Organizer: delegator, sent-by: delegate, From: ?)

2. When receiving meeting requests, the webmail front-end does recognize
this and a possible delegate may accept, decline, etc. on behalf of the
delegator, updating the attendee status and saving the event to the
delegators calendar. (Note: here with delegator/delegate I don't refer
to the same persons that in step 1).

3. When receiving the iMIP confirmations, a delegate may update the
attendee status of the event found in the delegators calendar.

Has SOGo some (planned) support of this?
It seems that Thunderbird/Lightning actually doesn't support this.

Regards.
