Workaround 1. To enable any level user
To perform this workaround, you need to have the right to sign agents that run on behalf of someone else. In Domino Designer, open the mail file of the user for whom you want to enable the Out of Office agent. Select the (EditOfficeProfile) agent, and click Run from the menu. It will display the Out of Office profile, where you can specify dates of absence and edit the mail text message.
Next, open the Out of Office agent (which is listed in the agent list as OutOfOffice) and specify the name of the mail owner in the “Run on behalf of" field. Check that the server to run on is set to the user’s home mail file, and save the agent. Then enable the agent from the agent list.
When you enter the mail owner name into the "Run on behalf of" field, you need to enter the Domino abbreviated hierarchical name (for example, Rain Cloud/Lily). If you enter a name without a domain (such as Rain Cloud), you will get the following error:
