Delegation controls

Setting	Default	Description
Maximum delegated accounts per user	10	How many current or scheduled delegations one authorised user can have. Enter `0` for no limit
Allow delegations with no end date	On	When off, every delegation needs an end date
Maximum delegation duration	0	The longest a delegation can last, in days. Only shown and applied when Allow delegations with no end date is off. `0` means no limit
Protect site administrator accounts	On	Site administrators cannot be delegated, and an existing delegation stops working if its account becomes an administrator
Maximum records per bulk action	100	How many delegations one bulk action can create, edit or revoke. Enter `0` for no limit
Delegated accounts shown in the user menu	10	Accounts listed in the user menu before View all delegated accounts. Enter `0` to list them all

Notifications

Setting	Default	Description
Notification policy	Allow the person creating the delegation to choose	Or Always notify, or Never notify. Never notify sends nothing, also for delegations created before it was selected, and hides the other notification settings
Notification recipients	Both users	The authorised user, the delegated account, or both
Notify when a delegation is revoked	On	Also notify when access is revoked
Subject and message when access is granted or revoked	Empty	One subject and one message per action for each installed language. Empty fields use the built-in text, which is worded for each recipient. A custom message is sent unchanged to both recipients, so write it to read well for both

The step by step is in the notifications guide.
