Is there an API to set task delegation for users?

Short answer: Task delegation isn't part of the public API reference. Users set their own delegation in My settings, and Super Admins can set it for anyone from Account administration.

Why it happens

• The documented user endpoints cover creating, listing and updating users, but not delegation.
• Delegation endpoints exist in the product, but they aren't documented, so they can change without notice.

How to fix it

To delegate your own tasks:

1. Click your profile picture > My settings.
2. Under Task delegation, click Add delegation, then set the dates, the processes and the delegate. See task delegation.

To delegate another user's tasks as a Super Admin:

1. Click your profile picture > Account administration > Task delegation > + New.
2. Select the user, the delegate, the processes and the dates. See task delegation for admins.

If you must automate it, these undocumented endpoints have been used:

• For your own tasks, using your own access key: POST /user/2/{account_id}/delegation/me with StartDate, EndDate, Context (all_flow or specific_flow), From and a Flow array whose entries hold _id (_all or a flow ID), Type and To.
• For another user, as an admin: PUT /user/2/{account_id}/admin/delegation/{user_id} with StartDate, Context and Flow.
