Lesson 1
Concept of delegation
In ServiceNow, delegation allows users to assign their approvals, tasks, and email notifications to another user, effectively acting as their representative for a period of time. This is particularly useful when a user is unavailable, such as during vacation or leave. The designated delegate can then interact with approvals and tasks, and receive copies of email notifications, as if they were the original user.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
-
Delegation:
The act of assigning another user to handle approvals, tasks, and notifications on your behalf.

Delegates:

How it works:A user can set up delegation through their user profile in ServiceNow. Once configured, the delegate will receive notifications and have the ability to act on approvals and tasks assigned to the delegator.Benefits:
Delegation helps ensure that important tasks and approvals are handled promptly, even when the assigned user is unavailable.
