Admins have the option to delegate permissions to specific authorization groups. Employees within these authorization groups will then have the ability to configure these permissions to all authorization groups in  the company.

For instance, the admin delegates the permission ‘Add employees’ to the HR permission group. This means that members of the HR permission group will be able to edit this specific permission across all authorization groups in the company.

Configure delegate permissions

The first step is make sure that Manage Company Permissions has been activated in the employee’s authorization group:

1. Go to Settings
2. Under General, click on Permissions
3. Select the desired authorization group
4. Under the Company section, you’ll find Manage Company Permissions
5. Activate permission 
6. Save Changes

This permission has to be active for delegate permissions to work properly as it gives them access the permission settings. 

How to delegate permissions

1. Go to Settings
2. Under General, click on Permissions
3. Select the desired authorization group
4. Click the Delegate permissions tab
5. Select the permission to delegate
