Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide for delegating tasks, where an administrator specifies a first set of tasks that can be delegated and a class of permissible delegatees to whom the first set of tasks can be delegated. The first set of tasks and the class of delegatees are added to a permitted delegations list. A request is received from a delegator to delegate a task to a delegatee. The request is examined in view of the permitted delegations list to determine whether the request is permitted, and if permitted, the task and delegatee are added to a delegated list. A second request is received from a first user to operate as a delegatee for a second user. The request is examined in view of the delegated list, and if permitted, the first user is enabled to operate as delegatee for a set of tasks assigned to the second user.
