# What is a Delegated Member? How Does It Work?

Optery's Delegated Member feature provides organization Admins the ability to manage account information on an employee's behalf.  The most common use case for this feature is when an Executive Assistant or Cybersecurity Administrator needs to manage an Optery account for a company Executive.

To add a Delegated Member please follow the below steps.

1. Log in to your Optery for Business organization [here](https://business.optery.com/login).
2. Select the **Manage Members** page.
3. Select the **Invite Member** dropdown, select **Add Delegated Member**.

4. After selecting Add Delegated Member, you will be required to enter information about the Delegated Member to activate the Optery license. Once you've entered the Delegated Members details, select Add Member.

|| Note: The Allow Notifications checkbox should be selected if you want the Delegated Member to receive the Exposure Report, Removal Reports, and account feature notifications (e.g. Limited Power of Attorney)

5. After a Delegated Member has been created, additional information such as Emails, Phone Numbers, Addresses, and more can be added and/or updated by selecting Manage Profile as seen below. Features such as [Blur Your Home](https://help.optery.com/en/article/how-to-blur-your-home-on-maps-services-19h0yo5/), [Sending the Limited Power of Attorney](https://help.optery.com/en/article/lpoa-for-delegated-members-85txf6/) and [Expanded Reach](https://help.optery.com/en/article/how-does-expanded-reach-work-1gptduf/) activation can also be completed.
