Add or Remove a Delegate in ServiceNow


ServiceNow allows you to assign a Delegate to approve requests, get copies of notifications, and (for IT staff with a role in ServiceNow to work on tickets, tasks, etc.) update your assigned items.

Note that any Delegates will only be able to see and approve requests that were submitted after they were added as your delegate.
