# ADMINISTRATOR: Adding Delegates

||| This article would only be applicable to users with an Administrator system role on their account, as it would not be possible for non-administrator users to add delegate users themselves.

Delegates can be assigned to a user's account for the purpose of assisting them with various SARD functions and tasks such as:

* Adding supporting documents (evidence) to their Portfolio
* Booking leave via the eLeave calendar
* Collecting feedback for MSF

If a Doctor has a secretary or colleague who will act as their delegate, you would first need to [set up a new account](/en/article/administrator-adding-new-users-1jobtwj/) for the Delegate user, and leave them set as 'Staff' only. Once an account has been created for the Delegate, you then need to go to the Doctor's **Edit Details** page. From here, you can add the Delegate in the below section, at the very bottom of the Doctor's details page:

Once the Delegate has been added to the Doctor's account, invited to SARD and signed into their own account, they can find the **Delegate Medics** tab on their Dashboard where they can view the details and available documents for the Doctor or Doctors they are assisting:

Delegates are often non-medical staff, such as PAs, who can do the following on behalf of a given medic, based on what product(s) they are using:

* Upload supporting documents directly to the Appraisal and Portfolio sections, or to the eDocuments library
* Add written entries to the Appraisal sections
* View the Doctor's previously completed Appraisal history
* Nominate colleagues for Colleague Feedback, send electronic Patient Feedback requests/download the Patient Feedback form to print and hand out to the Doctor's patients via the MSF page
* Add activities in the Job Plan Timetable
* Add leave requests via the eLeave calendar page

|| Delegates cannot sign off the last section of the Appraisal on behalf of the appraisee. That step must be completed by the appraisee directly.
