Try It Out: Verify that Delegated Administration Works

To see what a delegated Recruiting App administrator can and can't do, log in as Phil Katz.

1. From Setup, enter Users in the Quick Find box, then select Users.

Notice that the Edit link appears next to any user assigned to a role or subordinate role for which our delegate administrator group can manage users. The Edit link does not appear to users assigned to other roles, such as Cynthia Capobianco, the CEO.

You'll also see the New User, Reset Password(s), and Add Multiple Users buttons are now available to Phil. Let's see what happens if Phil adds a new user.

2. Click New User.

The User Edit page appears. At first glance, this page looks just like the User Edit page we saw when we added users while logged in as the system administrator. If you look closely at the options available in the Role and Profile drop-down lists, though, you'll notice a difference—the options are limited to what we specified when we created our delegated administration group. For example, Phil can't create a user with an executive role, nor can he assign a user to any profile other than Recruiter or Standard Employee.

We don't need to create any more users right now, so just click Cancel.

The last thing to verify is Phil's ability to modify the Position object.

3. From Setup, enter Objects in the Quick Find box, then select Objects.

We see that the Edit and Del links are available next to the Position object. This means that Phil now has the ability to both edit and delete the Position object. Our testing is complete!
