What is Access Delegation?
Access delegation refers to granting a person or system a certain level of authority or permission to access resources, perform actions, or make decisions on behalf of another person or entity. By implementing access delegation in its expense management software, organizations can improve efficiency, distribute workload, and ensure that the right people are involved in the appropriate tasks while maintaining control and accountability.
Access Delegation in Fyle
The Access delegation feature allows an employee to grant access to another employee to take action on the account on their behalf.
The employee that assigns their account access is the Delegator and the employee to whom the access is granted is the Delegatee. The Delegator can assign access to the delegate on a permanent or temporary basis according to the requirement.
The access delegation feature will be available only if the Admin of your organization has enabled this feature. If the option is not visible in Spender Settings, kindly contact your Admin. You can find the Admin/s of your organization by clicking the Support icon beside your name in the top right corner.
