Problem
Context
An individual is granted access to a service through some formal mechanism, however the indivudual would like to delegate that access to one or more individuals who cannot be identified through any authoritative means. The delegation of the access may be temporary (ie, allow someone to act on my behalf while I am on vacation) or may be permanent (I would like to delegate all resposibilites to my administrative assistant.) The nature of the access is such that I cannot delegate more authority than I have myself, and I will still be held accountable for the actions taken on my behalf.
Examples
An adminstrator is granted access to approve purchase orders in his department. The administrator is going to be on vacation for two weeks and needs to delegate authority to another individual while he is away.
A faculty member, by virtue of being the named instructor of a course is granted access to print photo class roster, to post course materials on the LMS site, and to enter official grades for the students at the end of the semester. The faculty member wishes for her teaching assistant to print the class roster at the beginning of the semester, and plans to ask her administrative assistant to enter the final grades for the course.
