3. Adding a delegate
If you wish to allow another user to act on your behalf you will need to delegate access to them and set the permissions that you are willing to grant to them.
From the iCal menu click [File], then click [Preferences...], and
then click the Accounts button on the Accounts window that appears.
Finally select the Delegation button from within the accounts view.
Click the Edit button below at the bottom right hand corner of the window
to start the process of adding a new delegate. This will bring up the Manage Account
Access Window.
Click the + button in the bottom left hand corner of the window and a new
entry will appear in the window and the cursor is placed within the "Name" field for you
to start typing the name of the user you wish to add as a delegate. As you type text into
the "Name" field a list of possible matches will appear and you can select the correct
user from the list.
Once you have selected the correct user you will also need to select the permissions you wish to set using the drop down lists in the Calendars and Tasks fields. In this example we have set Read Only permissions on both calendar and tasks.
Once you have set the correct permissions click the Done button to
complete the process of adding a delegate.
This completes the addition of that delegate and you will be returned to the Accounts window.
