How to Edit the Proxy List for the departmental shared email in Electronic Directory Editor (EDE)

Adding a Proxy: 

1. Login to EDE https://ede.techservices.illinois.edu
2. look up the Alias you would like to edit 
3. 10 sections down the page you will see uiucEduProxy: there you can add or remove proxies for the alias.  Separate the proxies NetID's with a single space. 
4. click on the Apply button to save the change. 

Requesting a change to the proxy list if there isn't a Proxy to make the change: 

The Help Desk is able to assign proxy rights to a group or unit's Electronic Directory entry. Once an individual has proxy rights, the requester will be able to make changes to the departmental shared email (such as their address or phone number). 
 
1. TDX ticket for alias with proxies that need to be updated.
2. Ticket should be submitted by verifiable full-time employee from or On Site Consultant who is responsible for the departmental shared email. 


Please note:

  1. The proxy is now responsible for the data in that departmental shared email. Tech Services cannot restore a damaged entry.
  2. Information in the entry that cannot be updated by the proxy via the Departmental Shared Email form must be done by request to techservices-iamu@illinois.edu. If a proxy requests changes to this information, submit the request to techservices-iamu@illinois.edu.
