  • Instant Messages - access to SmartSimple instant message features.
  • Calendars – access to your personal calendar and shared calendars for other people.
  • Contacts – access to all external contacts in the system. This list will not include contacts that are internal to your organization.
  • Discussions – access to discussion groups that you have access to.
