How to Use Gmail’s Contact Delegation Feature

Gmail now gives its users the ability to delegate contacts to another person within your domain. Just like delegating your mail, you now have the ability to delegate up to 25 of your contacts.

How to do it:

  • Go to your Google Mail account
  • Click on “Mail” and then select “Contacts”
  • Go to the “More” tab and click on “Manage delegation settings”
  • Type in the email addresses you want your contacts t be delegated to and click “Share and save”
  • Click “Done”

You now have delegated your contacts to specified users. Your name will now appear under that person’s ‘Delegated Contacts’. By clicking on your name, others will now be able to access your contact list.

    Yes, but until I can compose an email and actually use those contacts through autocomplete, or for god’s sake at least SEARCH those contacts this is kinda useless.

    Agree with James Moore. Sometimes, as in this case, functional and useful are much more important than new and cool.
