Approval tasks that would normally come to a user for approval can be delegated to other users via on the Permanent Approval Delegations feature view 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 Approval delegations can be edited and deleted by the delegator at any time.
