Delegation Options

The delegation framework supports the following types of delegation:

• Downward delegation of authority to a direct report or another person lower down in the reporting hierarchy.

• Upward delegation of authority to a manager or another person higher up in the reporting hierarchy.

• Lateral delegation of authority to a peer either within the same division or in a different division within the reporting hierarchy.

Note:

To prevent situations of cascading or circular delegation chains, once the delegation framework passes delegated authority over a transaction to a proxy, the proxy cannot delegate authority over that transaction to another user. The delegation framework only passes authority over transactions from initial delegator to initial proxy.
