Delegations of Authority

Q: How do I search the President's Delegations of Authority Library?

A: Go to Delegations Library and click "Delegations Search". If you think you know who has the authority, enter that person's X.500 internet ID (the part of the UofM email addres that comes before the "@umn.edu") in the "Delegatee" blank. You can find their X.500 by using "User Lookup". Then select "Signature Authority" from the drop-down menu for "Authority Type". Click "Search". You will get a list showing all authorities that have been delegated to that individual. Find the authority in which you are interested and click on the icon to the far right. The delegation and chain of authority report will be displayed.

If you do not know who may have the authority, you can search by unit. Begin by clicking on "Unit". Enter the name or part of the name of the unit. The "Unit" blank will self-populate with the unit ID number. Then select "Signature Authority" from the drop-down menu for "Authority Type". Click "Search". You will get a list showing all authorities that have been delegated for that unit. Find the authority in which you are interested and click on the icon to the far right. The delegation and chain of authority will be displayed.

The more blanks you fill-in, the quicker the search.
