Gmail's Delegated Access is a way to share a Gmail inbox with another TIU member, without having to share your credentials for that email. The Delegated users can send, read, and reply to emails on your behalf. Use cases for Delegated Access are department email or other shared inboxes, going on vacation and answering emails on your behalf, and assistance/secretary-type roles.
To assign delegated access for a TIU Gmail account to another user, the owner of the account will need to set it up in their Gmail Settings.
- On your computer, open Gmail.
- In the top right, click Settings Settings and then See all settings.
- Click the Accounts and Import or Accounts tab.
- In the "Grant access to your account" section, click Add another account. If you’re using Gmail through your work or school, your organization may restrict email delegation. If you don’t see this setting, contact your admin.
- Enter the email address of the person you want to add. The account you're delegating must have "Require user to change password at next sign-in" disabled.
- Click Next Step and then Send email to grant access.
- The person you added will get an email asking them to confirm. It may take up to 24 hours for you to see them as a delegate after they confirm. (Note: The invitation expires after a week.)
To Remove Access can also be performed in the same Accounts and Import tab.
More information can be found on this Google Support page.
If this is a TIU Department Email and the password needs to be reset, please have your Department Head or authorized supervisor send an email requesting a password reset to ithelpdesk@tiu.edu.
Thank you
TIU IT
