# Sending email on behalf of someone else
<a name="send_email_delegate"></a>

You can send email on another user's behalf if they've made you their delegate.

**To send email on behalf of someone else**

1. In the Amazon WorkMail web application, on the shortcut bar, choose the mail icon.

1. On the menu bar, choose **\$1 New item**, **New email**.
**Tip**  
You can also choose the plus sign (**\$1**) on the tab bar.

1. Under the **To** field, choose **From**.

1. For **From**, enter the name of the person for whom you are sending email.

1. In the contents pane, type your message and choose **Send**.

The mailbox owner appears in the **From:** header, and you appear in the **Sender:** header.

**Note**  
If you have not been granted delegation permissions for the person you specified in the **From** field, you receive an email message in your own inbox indicating that you don't have the required permissions.
