Introduction
This page lists the steps to accept Gmail delegation of another account.
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.
