Article Intended For
All University faculty, staff, researchers with permission to use and/or access Penn State Research Information Systems - IAF users with 'Delegation' menu option.
Introduction
IAF approvers have the ability to delegate their approval to another user. Once a user has been delegated, they will have the same approval privileges as the delegator (except for Investigator approvals and final AOR approval submission). Delegated users cannot approve for an Investigator due to issues related to personal conflict of interests.
