Add, edit or remove delegates for a contact

You can select other users or organizational units to be your delegates and act on process tasks on your behalf. You add, edit, and remove your delegates from the Delegates tab on your user profile page. You can also see the list of contacts who selected you to be their delegate on the Delegate for tab.

Delegates can have two type of roles: Normal or Administrator. The Normal role allows a delegate to work with process tasks on behalf of the user who assigned a delegate. The Administrator role allows a delegate to work with process tasks and to select other users to be delegates for the initial contact. Basically, you are assigning another user the rights to manage your delegates.

Delegating tasks to other users

You can freely select one or more delegates to act on process tasks on your behalf but you must be assigned the Administrator role to select delegates for other users, for example if you want to select a delegate for a colleague who is on leave. Additionally, if you are assigned the Administrator role for a unit, you can manage delegates of that unit.

Assigning delegates for other users

If you want to select delegates for other users, you must be assigned the DELEGATEADM access code, for example assigning delegates for users that are on sick leave or on vacation.

If you are not assigned the DELEGATEADM access code you can only assign delegates for yourself.

Using organizational units

If you want to select organizational units as delegates on behalf of other users or units, you must be assigned the AFDADM access code. For example, you can select an employee to act on process tasks on behalf of an entire organizational unit.
