There are two types of delegates:  a Permanent Delegate and a Vacation Delegate.


  1. Permanent Delegate: A permanent delegate to a Manager will always have access to the Time Details of the users that report to that Manager and can approve or reject the time details.

How the Delegates work


  • Julia Richard is Reporting Manager to Aaron Diska
  • Julia Richard is Permanent Delegate to Tom Aarons, and
  • Julia Richard is Vacation Delegate to Merry Sans


  1. As Julia is reporting Manage for Aaron Diksha, Julia will have access to the time details of Aaron Diksha always. And the Access Type in the Approvals screen shows as "Reporting".
  2. Julia is a Permanent Delegate to Tom Aarons,
    • The user's Caroline Joseph, Jack Palmer, and Lilly Thomas are reporting to Tom Aarons, and because Julia is a Permanent  Delegate to Tom Aarons, Julia sees the Time Details of Caroline Joseph, Jack Palmer, and Lily Thomas always in the Approvals screen and can Approve or Reject the time details of these users
    • The access Type for the time details of Caroline, Jack Palmer, and Lilly Thomas as "Permanent Delegate" (Perm Del)
  3. Julia is set as Vacation Delegate for Merry Sans
    • Mathew Jones and Marc Wilson are reporting to Merry Sans
    • As Merry Sans is on Vacation, Julia can approve the time details of Mathew Jones and Marc Wilson.
    • The Access Type is shown as "Vacation Delegate" (Vac Del) for Mathew Jones and Marc Wilson, so Julia knows that Merry Sans is on vacation and should approve the time details for Mathew Jones and Marc Wilson.

By seeing the Access Type, the Delegate will know why they are seeing the Time Details of the users that are not reporting to them.
