User Email Delegation

Delegate Email

The TouchPoint Admin (or a user with ManageEmails role) can delegate a user permission to email on behalf of another user. Both the person sending the email and the person on whose behalf it was sent will be able to view those sent emails. Users must have the role Access in order to be allowed to email on behalf of another user. You can actually delegate several users permission to email on behalf of another user.

Caution

Make sure that both users have different email addresses.

Tip

Consider creating people records for your ministries and allowing staff members to email on behalf of that ministry.
