Delegation

Delegation is the assignment of responsibility or authority to another person (normally from a manager to a subordinate) to carry out specific activities, such as starting on proper tires during a wet race. It is one of the core concepts of management leadership. However, the person who delegated the work remains accountable for the outcome of the delegated work. Delegation empowers a subordinate to make decisions, i.e. it is a shift of decision-making authority from one organizational level to a lower one. Delegation, if properly done, is not abdication. The opposite of effective delegation is micromanagement, where a manager provides too much input, direction, and review of delegated work. In general, delegation is good and can save money and time, help in building skills, and motivate people. Poor delegation, on the other hand, might cause frustration and confusion to all the involved parties. Some agents however do not favour a delegation and consider the power of making a decision rather burdensome.

Delegation (computer security)

Delegation is the process of a computer user handing over their authentication credentials to another user. In role-based access control models, delegation of authority involves delegating roles that a user can assume or the set of permissions that he can acquire, to other users.

Types of Delegation in IT network

There are essentially two classes of delegation.

  • Delegation at Authentication/Identity Level
  • Delegation at Authorization/Access Control Level
  • Delegation at Authentication/Identity Level

    It is defined as follows: If an authentication mechanism provides an effective identity different from the validated identity of the user then it is called identity delegation at the authentication level, provided the owner of the effective identity has previously authorized the owner of the validated identity to use his identity.

    The existing techniques of identity delegation using sudo or su commands of UNIX are very popular. To use the sudo command, a person first has to start his session with his own original identity. It requires the delegated account password or explicit authorizations granted by the system administrator. The user login delegation described in the patent of Mercredi and Frey is also an identity delegation.

    Delegation (band)

    Delegation was a British soul musical group with a lengthy career, and an amount of international success. They are generally viewed in the U.S. as a one-hit wonder, based on the crossover hit, "Oh Honey" (1978). Their biggest UK success came in 1977, with the Top 30 hit single, "Where Is The Love (We Used to Know)".

    Career

    Delegation was formed in the United Kingdom in 1975 by Ricky Bailey, Len Coley and Roddy Harris. Working with record producer/songwriter Ken Gold (who masterminded The Real Thing), they began releasing a series of moderately successful singles such as "The Promise of Love" and "Where Is The Love (We Used to Know)". But their fortunes changed for the better in 1977 with the release of "Oh Honey", a mid tempo cut that hit the Top Ten in several countries. The accompanying album, The Promise of Love, included the ballad "Mr. Heartbreak", "Where Is The Love (We Used To Know)" and "Someone Oughta Write a Song (About You Baby)", which also charted.

    Coley left the band and Bruce Dunbar took his place. In 1979, Delegation released Eau De Vie, on the Ariola label and had international hits with "Heartache #9", "You And I" and the "Put A Little Love On Me". By 1980, Harris was replaced by Ray Patterson, and the group continued on with lesser success.

    You And I

    by: Delegation

    You and I, stand with our heads held up high
    Me and you, together whatever we do
    You and I, stand with our heads held up high
    Me and you, together whatever we do
    All the love - you've given me, I cherish, babe, so
    tenderly
    All the times - I've spent with you, I treasure girl, you
    know I do
    Everything I possess is down to you more or less
    Anything that you say, I'm for you all the way
    All the joy that you bring makes my heart wanna sing
    Really forever this way
    You and I, stand with our heads held up high
    Me and you, together whatever we do ....
    On the day - I met you girl, I found myself a better
    world
    On the night - when first we kissed, I realized how much
    I missed
    Felt the fun when you came, didn't you feel the same
    Reaching out for your hand, hoping you understand
    Now we know where we stand, and we're both certain that
    We'll live forever this way
    You and I, stand with our heads held up high
