How to add a delegate in Concur
When you add someone as a delegate, they'll have permission to create travel requests, reimbursement requests, and p-card reconciliations—they get permissions for all 3 functions. If you’re an approver and add a delegate, they’ll have permission to approve all 3—travel requests, reimbursement requests, and p-card reconciliations.
Delegates can't submit anything, so the user will need to log into Concur and still submit their request or reconciliation themself.
