# Appoint stand-ins

You can appoint a user as a stand-in for another user for a specified period. For example, if a user has a vacation, you can appoint a stand-in during this vacation.

For auditing purposes, you cannot delete stand-in records with periods in the past.

### Steps

1. Click **Security management**.
2. Click the **Stand-in** tab.
3. Click **New**.
4. Define the user to be substituted.

In the **User** field, enter or select a value.
5. Define the user who must stand in for the substituted user.

In the **Stand-in** field, enter or select a value.
6. Define the date on which the stand-in period starts.

On this date, the required security setup is activated for the stand-in user.

In the **From date** field, enter a date.
7. Define the date on which the stand-in period ends.

After this date, the required security setup is deactivated for the stand-in user.

In the **To date** field, enter a date.
8. Define whether the stand-in also gets access to the same legal entities as the substituted user.

Select or clear the **Copy assigned organizations** check box.
9. Close the page.
