1.6. Access delegation
Delegation is the provision of temporary access to a service. After the service is delegated to another hosting user, it is simultaneously displayed in several control panels — in the owner’s panel and in the panel of users with delegated access.

Important points:
- Can delegate access service owner only.
- Operations that available only to the owner of the service and are not available when delegated:
- Everything that affects the cost of services:
- Tariff change, configuration change, volume change.
- Ordering, changing and refusing additional services that paid separately. A user with delegated access can only manage supplementary services that included in the fare (cm. businesshosting).
- Delegation automatically turns off at transfer of rights for a service.
- Delegation notavailable, when a procedure is initiated but not completed in the service owner’s account verification.
