# Gmail - Managing Delegate Access **From:** [Google Support - Delegating access to a Gmail account](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/138350?hl=en#zippy=%2Cadd-a-delegate) --- The user must first be made the administrator/primary account for the Gmail account intended to be shared/delegated access to. If they are, should be able to access the account--which we recommend doing by opening an incognito tab and signing into said account. **Note:** You cannot assign delegates from the Gmail mobile app - only via desktop access. From there, according the the article, the steps are: 1. Go to **Settings** and **See all settings** 2. Click the **Accounts and import** or the **Accounts** tab 3. Under **"Grant access to your account"** select **Add another account** 4. Enter the email address of the person you wish to add. It is also possible to add the email address of a group, as long as their emails are of the same domain (@stedwards.edu) as our organization 5. Select **Next step -> Send email to grant access**
