Task Delegation

Users may have the ability to delegate tasks to another user for a short preset period of time.

Task delegation is useful during the time a user is on vacation or on a sick leave. When selecting a user (new owner) to whom tasks will be delegated, the following rules apply:

  • The new owner must have the same user type permissions (constraints not included) as the current owner.

  • The new owner must be at least in all the same groups as the current owner.

  • If the current owner is an eShare user (not a Taleo application user), the new owner must also be an eShare user.

Note: When a user delegates tasks to an alternate user, if the user is a collaborator on a requisition, the alternate user must also be made collaborator on that requisition in order to perform the same actions as the user. The system does not automatically allow the delegated to interact as a collaborator on behalf of the original user.
