Approval tasks that would normally come to a user for approval can be delegated to other users via the Permanent Delegations feature of MyIdentity. When a task is delegated in this way, the delegator can still interact with the task , but is no longer the default approver. Permanent delegations can be edited and deleted by the delegator at any time.In
