Enable Mail Delegation in Google Workspace

Purpose

Mail delegation is a function that allows staff to share their mailbox with other team members within their Google Workspace organization. This function is turned off by default & must be enabled by an admin before team members are able to delegate access to their mailboxes.

Note: Enabling delegation will allow staff to share their mailbox with any team member within the organization. It will not provide anyone access to another mailbox unless the owner has invited the team member to do so.
