Step-by-step
You may need to delegate access to your emails or calendar to allow someone to make appointments for you, or answer emails on your behalf. Use this article to guide you through the proper steps to delegate access to another user.

Subsequent steps are to be carried out by the delegate.

Choose the Delegates tab and click the [+] sign.
In the next window, type the name of the person you'd like to have access to your account and click Find.
