Introduction

Role delegation is the assignment of a role from one user, known as the delegator, to another user, known as the proxy. The delegation can be either for a specified period, such as a planned absence, or indefinite.

The proxy user can perform the tasks of the delegated role on the relevant data. For example, a line manager can manage assigned journeys for his or her reports. If that manager delegates the journey role, then the proxy can also manage the journeys of the delegator's reports. The delegator doesn't lose the role while it's delegated.

The proxy user signs in using his or her own user name but has extra function and data privileges from the delegated role.
