# Delegate items

Delegate an item to assign an item to a user who does not currently have a role for the item.

If an item is in your inbox, you can delegate it to enable another user to action the item in your place. If you have the necessary privilege, you can delegate an item to override the existing privileges. For example, you could delegate an item to a backup person.
