Need to give someone access to your Gmail inbox without compromising security? Gmail’s email delegation feature lets you grant access to another user, allowing them to read, send, and delete emails on your behalf. This is perfect for vacation coverage, managing shared inboxes (like sales@ or support@), delegating tasks, and providing administrative assistance.
Instead of sharing passwords, email delegation allows users to access your inbox from their own accounts, maintaining security and adhering to best practices. This eliminates the risks associated with password sharing and ensures that two-factor authentication remains in place.
Setting up email delegation is straightforward. You’ll enable the feature in your Google Workspace admin console and then add the delegate’s email address within your Gmail settings. Once the delegate accepts your request, they can seamlessly access your inbox from their own account, send emails on your behalf, and manage your emails efficiently.
With Gmail’s email delegation, you can streamline your workflow, improve team communication, and enhance security, all while maintaining control over your inbox.
