Novell Doc: Identity Manager Roles Based Provisioning Module 3.6 User Application: User Guide - Viewing and Editing Your Delegate Assignments

11.5 Viewing and Editing Your Delegate Assignments

The My Delegate Assignments action allows you to view your delegate assignments. If you are a Provisioning Application Administrator, you can also use this action to edit delegate assignments.

Only Provisioning Application Administrators and team managers can assign delegates, as described below:

The Provisioning Application Administrator has the ability to define delegate assignments for any user in the organization.
A team manager might have the ability to define delegate settings for users on his team, depending on how the team rights have been defined. The delegates must also be within the team. To define a delegate, a team manager must use the Team Delegate Assignments action.

If a team manager needs to define a delegate relationship for users who are not within his or her scope of authority, he or she must request that the Provisioning Application Administrator define the delegate relationship.

HINT:Before using the Edit Availability action, you need to have at least one delegate assignment to work on.
