The Delegate permissions grant lets someone hand out a *defined, limited* set of permissions to others — without being a full people manager. It’s for team leads who need to grant access but shouldn’t see or edit the whole directory.

When this applies

Use it when a lead needs to onboard people onto their schedules or pass along permissions, but you don’t want to give them full Manage people (which exposes the entire roster, including invited/pending/declined people).

What a delegator can and cannot see

• They see a minimal people list — just names and an edit button to delegate permissions.
• They can only delegate to people who don’t already hold the permissions in question.
• They get no visibility over invited, pending, or declined people, and cannot edit profiles, contacts, or timezones.
