Audience: All usersPurpose
Amex GBT's spend platform supports the delegation of a users account to another user (only one delegate permitted at a time), allowing another user full access into their account to perform duties on their behalf.
Tip: To arrange travel on behalf of another user, please see the article Arranging travel for others as the supported method for this process.
Overview
Creating a Delegation to another user
To delegate your account to another team member, follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Log in as yourself and access the profile area by clicking on the circle with your initials on the top right hand side. Click Delegations.
Step 2: Click on New Delegation to begin creation
Step 3: Choose the user you wish to grant account access to, and set start and end date. This is useful to plan for upcoming holidays or absences. Click Save when finished.
If your account is connected for virtual Cards, you will also have the option to set delegations
specifically for virtual Card funding approval. These delegation assignment types can not exceed 12 months.
Step 4: Your delegation is now complete. The account access you have assigned to others will be displayed in this window. You can follow this process again to add additional delegates if required.
Working on behalf of another user
If you have been granted access to the account of a co-worker and wish to access their account, follow these simple steps to work on their behalf as a delegate.
Tip: Virtual card delegates will not need to access delegations to access approvals. The approvals will generate in your profile directly. See this guide for information on how to approve. 
Step 1: Log in as yourself and access the profile area by clicking on the three dots next to your initials. Click Delegations (screenshot above)
Step 2: You will see the account access you have been granted under the tab Delegations Assigned to me. For the chosen account, click Log In As
Step 3: You will now be taken to the chosen users account. You will be accessing their profile as if you are them and will have access to all functions.
The platform will remind you that you are logged in on behalf of someone else in the top right-hand side of the screen.
Step 4: To end the Log as session, click on the circle with the users initials on the top right hand side and select Quit Log As. You will be taken back to your own account.
