Delegation behaviors and limitations

  • A delegate can view the attendees acceptance status in calendar events. Acceptance status can take a maximum of 5 minutes to update by default. For testing purposes, if you want quicker response, adjust the sync time via the following parameter on the Traveler Server:
    NTS_INVITEE_STATUS_DELAY_SECONDS=5
  • A Delegate cannot send encrypted mail on behalf of the Owner.
  • Both the delegate and the Owner's mail files must be on the same Domino server.
  • Delegation is only supported for Mail, Calendar, Contacts with Full Access. No partial or lower delegation at this time.
  • Shared mail / mail-in database not currently supported.
  • The Owner's private events can be seen by the delegate having Full Delegation Access. This is expected and consistent with Notes' delegation behavior.
  • A delegate cannot create a private contact in the owner's contacts using HTMO.
