This page explains how to use Gmail delegation of another account once a user has

accepted it for another account

accepted an invitation. It assumes you have already accepted the Gmail delegation email sent to you by the account owner.

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:

  • It may take up to 30 minutes after accepting delegation for it to show up in your account.
    • Once you have accepted Gmail delegation, you must access the delegated account from your personal Biola email in a web-browser. The Gmail delegation function is incompatible with mobile devices.
