Scheduling a Task Delegation

Important: When delegating a task, the users you delegate the task to must be granted the access and functional privileges required to work with the task type you are delegating. Otherwise, the task will not appear in the user's inbox, or the user may not be able to work with task. For more information, see Configuring Task Access Permissions.
