Adding Email Delegation to Group Members via GAT Flow

2 min read

Google administrators can use GAT Flow to assign bulk delegation by selecting individual Group members and giving them access to another user’s mailbox OR, conversely, grant delegation to their accounts to another user.

Create Workflow and Select Group Members #

Workflow type #

In the Workflow fill in the details for the workflow. You can set it up also as an Event workflow or Recurring workflow.

  • Name – enter the name of the workflow (2)
  • Description – enter a description for the workflow (optional)
  • Type – select what workflow type you would like to run
    • Modify – modify existing users (3)
  • Include suspended users – enable or disable to allow you to select users who are currently suspended:
    • If enabled – you will be able to select even users who are suspended
    • If disabled – you will be able to select only users who are active
  • Run immediately after approval – provides an option to schedule the workflow to run in a selected future time (optional)

Later click Next (4) to proceed.
