Delegate permissions

The functionality of delegating permissions enables granting all access permissions of a user to another user for a limited time. This is useful when, for example, an employee is out of the office or otherwise unavailable and someone should take over their duties. You can delegate permissions of individual users or roles to any number of other users or roles.

To delegate permissions, a user must have access to the “Manage user list” (CanManageUsers) and “Change delegated permissions” (CanChangeAdminUnitGrantedRight) system operations.

Delegate permissions of a user to other users and roles

To delegate user permissions to another employee or employee group:

1.Click btn_system_designer00016.png -> [System users].

2.Open the user page, whose permissions you want to delegate.

3.Click [Rights delegation] -> [Delegate permissions].

4.In the opened window, select the user or employee group that will receive the delegated permissions, e.g., the “Accounting department” organizational role.

5.Click [Select]. Click [Close] on the user page.

6.Click [Actions] -> [Update roles] to apply the changes.

As a result, the users and roles who received the permissions will be displayed in the [Who receives permissions] column, and the user/role, whose permissions were delegated, will be displayed in the [Who grants permissions] column on the [Access rights delegation] detail (Fig. 1).
