Gmail delegation gives users limited access to a department email account to read and send emails from it. The account stays secure as delegation does not share the password, and account owners can revoke a user's access at any time.

Please Note: 

  • Users should give Gmail delegation for department email accounts and not personal Gmail accounts.
  • Users can only give Gmail delegation to @biola.edu email accounts.
