How do I add a delegate?

 Click here to expand...

A delegate in Elements can impersonate another user and assist with managing their account. Full guidance on adding a delegate and impersonating can be found in our guide: Delegate Access

How do I impersonate another user

 Click here to expand...

You can impersonate another user if:

  • You are a named delegate for that user

  • The user is a member of a group (e.g. department) of which you are a group manager (research managers and statisticians are jointly known as group managers)

You can impersonate them by clicking on the impersonate icon* at the top of the screen and entering their surname (optionally followed by a comma, space and initial e.g. 'Jones, J').

For step-by-step instructions on how to do this, please see Profile Privacy & Visibility.
