Delegate reviews

If you're going on vacation or need to delegate reviews to other members of your organization for a set period, you can create a schedule to temporarily add additional reviewers to access requests.

📘
On self-hosted Opal, delegated reviews are available on versions 1.1032.0 and later.

Schedule delegated request reviews

Currently, users can only create delegations for themselves, not other users. Any user can create a delegated request review.

To create a delegated request review:

Select your profile in the lower left corner of the Opal dashboard, then Settings > Delegates.
Select + Delegation and enter the user to add to reviews, a date range, and reason for the delegation.

You can view and delete delegated reviews from the same page, as well as see schedules for reviews delegated to you.

Review delegated requests

Delegated access requests appear in the Inbox tab on the Requests page, as any other pending request, and the delegated reviewer is shown as Delegated.

Delegated reviewers are added as additional reviewers, not replacements.

Manage delegations

Admins can view and delete all schedules for delegated reviews from Inventory > Delegations.

Notifications and events

Delegated reviewers receive the same notifications as any other reviewer.

Events are logged when you create and delete delegation schedules. Access requests and revocation events include details in descriptions if reviews were delegated from another user.
