General Options - Delegates


Permissions

You will require an Access Role with the following permissions:

  • (Tailoring) General Options

There are two types of delegate which can be configured within Assure Expenses - Named Delegate and Access Role Delegates.

  • Named Delegates are users that have been selected as a delegate by another claimant within the My Details | Delegates menu, for example, if a claimant is on holiday, they may set a Named Delegate to act on heir behalf.  For more information on how to assign a delegate, view Assign a Delegate.

  • Access Role Delegates are users that have the 'Delegate logon element' selected within their access role, meaning they can search for any employee and act as their delegate. For more information on configuring access roles, view Manage Access Roles.

It is important to configure the specific permissions for both delegate types to ensure that the user is only able to access the information which is required to perform their delegate responsibility.

  1. Navigate from the Home page to Administrative Settings | Tailoring | General Options.

    Note: Restrictions will prevent a delegate from accessing the Support Tickets menu or requesting a change of details for the user that they are logged in as. The Audit Logkeeps a record of the activity of the user when they are logged on as a delegate.
