# Manage Employee Delegates

:lock: Employee.**ManageDelegates**

## Overview

This operation is used to manage the list of delegates of an **Employee** that can perform operations within a given scope when the principal **Employee** is not available.

## Setup

No special setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* **Employee** exists and is Active.
* Current user **Employee** must match the **Employee** for which the delegation information will be updated.

## Sequence of Steps

1. Select an appropriate **Employee**, navigate to the Delegates sub-section in the Details View panel and press the **Manage** button.
2. For each of the available states in the approval workflow, add as many subscribers as desired (press :material-plus: in the top right of the grid to add, and :material-trash-can: to remove), providing for each item the following information:

      * **Employee** that will act as delegate.

        !!! note
            The Employee Number is displayed alongside the name to help identify the correct Employee when multiple employees share the same name.

      * Date from which the delegate period is valid.
      * Date until which the delegate period is valid (if left empty, validation period has no end date).

    !!! note
        The value for Scope is currently fixed and set for `ChangeSetApproval`.

3. Select **Update** to complete the operation.
