Proxy Access

Instructions for Students

Students who provided Proxy Access prior to 1/17/24 - please read the Proxy Access 2024 update below.

In myOswego, the Proxy Management page (on the Personal Information tab) allows you to add, edit or revoke proxy access.

To add a proxy click the "+ Add New" link in the upper right-hand corner.

• You must enter the proxy's first and last name along with a valid email address (this will be their username).
• You must also select a Relationship (Parent, Other) from the drop-down. Start and Stop dates, which determine when the Proxy can have access, default to one year but can be adjusted.
• The last required piece is to select Authorizations - the myOswego pages you want the proxy to be able to see.

Optional content is in the "Additional Information" section. Description is your personal note about this proxy (e.g. dad, mom, company name). A Passphrase can also be established - it can be used for identification purposes if your proxy calls administrative offices (Registrar, Deans Office, etc.).

Note: student names (preferred, legal) display for proxies in the same manner as for students in myOswego. Most pages will display preferred name, transcripts will display legal name.

Click the Submit button to save the proxy information. Tell your proxy that they will receive email instructions to complete the setup process. The process uses a unique temporary web link that expires in ten days if they do not logon and establish a password.

Edit details about a proxy by clicking the pencil icon under their name on the Proxy Management page. There are also options to email your proxy a Passphrase (if used) or Authorizations (the list of myOswego pages they can see). There is a Reset Password link as well, although proxies are able to reset their own passwords.

There are two additional tabs available when editing a proxy. The History tab provides the full history of proxy authorization activity. The Communication tab shows the history emails sent and also allows you to resend specific messages.

To remove proxy authority, click the pencil icon under the proxy's name on the Proxy Management page. Change the Stop Date (to today's date or earlier) and click "submit".
