Granting Proxy Access on DuckWeb

Students may want their parent(s) or legal guardians to view aspects of their DuckWeb account, and can grant access to their DuckWeb pages for others to view.

Click on the Proxy Access tab to give view-only access to specific areas of your student information. As the account owner, you maintain complete control over your proxy’s access including what information they access, resetting their password, changing or deleting their access, and sending them messages detailing the access they have been given.

To add a proxy, click on Proxy Management > Add Proxy. Then click on Expand (name of proxy) and complete the proxy profile.

Field Descriptions

• Relationship: Select from dropdown menu.
• Description: Is the proxy your mother, father, grandfather, aunt, etc.?
• Start Date: Today’s date.
• Stop Date: When proxy access ends.

Granting Authorization to a Proxy

Once you have completed the profile information, grant authorization to your proxy in the Authorization tab. Select the information you are authorizing your proxy to view. Then, scroll back to the top of the page and click on the “E-mail Authorizations link. This saves the authorization, and notifies the proxy via email with a PIN, called "action password," and login link. The proxy is required to create a password and should bookmark the link so it is readily available.

Should the proxy forget his/her password, the student will need to login to DuckWeb and reset the proxy’s PIN (click "Reset PIN" in the Profile tab). After you have reset the PIN, the proxy will receive an email with a new PIN and link. Again, the proxy will be asked to create a new password and the link should be bookmarked. A student’s proxy should never share their password with another person to ensure the safety and security of their information.

To view what you have authorized proxies to view, go to the History tab and then the Communication tab.

Removing Proxy Access

Use good judgment when authorizing proxy access to your student information. If your proxy has already logged in and accessed your information, you will no longer be able to delete that proxy’s access completely. However, you can change or unauthorize the information the proxy has access to. To do this, click on the Authorization tab and uncheck the boxes to withdraw information that was made viewable to your proxy. You may also enter a new “Stop Date” in the Profile tab to stop all access for that proxy.

Only students can manage their proxies’ accounts, regardless of whether the proxy has logged in or not. Staff in the Office of the Registrar or other UO administrative offices do not have access to change or delete proxy access for students.
