Add & Remove Delegates From Your Gmail Inbox

Updated:
Staff should seek permission from IT before delegating their inbox and are never permitted to delegate to emails outside the organization. 

A delegate is someone who can read, send, and delete emails in your account for you. When a delegate sends a message from your account, their email address appears.

A delegate can’t chat with anyone or change your password. Please take extreme caution in delegating your inbox.
