# How do I delegate tasks to a colleague?


### Delegation
The delegate function allows certain tasks or responsibilities to be temporarily assigned to someone else on your team. When you delegate tasks, you give someone else the authority to perform actions on your behalf within the system. 

| Tip: This can be useful if you are absent or if someone else on the team needs to take on specific tasks. 

1. You can find this function under **Settings > Personal > Delegation**. By clicking on the ''**plus**'' icon, you get the overview below. Here you can select a user you want to delegate your tasks to.

2. Once the delegation of tasks is no longer needed, you can delete the delegation by clicking the ''**x**'' icon. 

||| Note: Users who want to delegate must set this up themselves. You can only delegate tasks to a colleague who has the same roles.
