A Gmail user can grant mailbox access to another user in the same Google Workspace organization. The user granting access is referred to as the delegator and the user receiving the access is the delegate.

Delegates can read, send, and delete messages, as well as view and add contacts, for the delegator's account. See Set up mail delegation for more information about delegates.
