Allow delegated requester configuration for users
Remco Houthuijzen
Introduce the ability to configure a delegated requester for a user by assigning a group. Users who are members of this group should be able to submit requests on behalf of the configured user.
This allows certain users to create requests for another user without giving them approval rights. The delegated requester should only be able to submit requests and not approve them.
This functionality is similar to part of the behavior that managers currently have, where they can submit requests for their employees.
Requested Enhancement
Allow administrators to configure a delegated requester for a user by assigning a group. Members of this group should be able to submit requests on behalf of the configured user.
The delegated requester should only have permission to submit requests and should not receive any approval permissions.
It is important to clearly distinguish this functionality from delegated approvers.
Delegated approver functionality allows someone to approve requests in addition to or on behalf of the manager. Delegated requester functionality would only allow someone to submit requests on behalf of another user.
This configuration should also be manageable through the HelloID API so that delegated requester assignments can be automated or integrated with external systems.
Example Scenario
A common scenario is that the service desk submits access requests on behalf of users. For example, a service desk employee may request access to applications or resources for another employee.
By configuring a delegated requester group for a user or department, service desk employees who are members of that group would be able to submit requests on behalf of the user without receiving approval permissions.
Use Case / User Story
As an administrator, I want to configure delegated requesters for a user so that designated users, such as service desk employees, can submit requests on behalf of that user without granting them approval rights.
Business Value
This functionality provides more flexibility in request delegation and better reflects real organizational processes where service desk employees, assistants, or coordinators often submit requests on behalf of others. It also ensures that request submission and approval responsibilities remain clearly separated.

Good request in addition to your request we have encountered the business case during holiday season whereas the manager is not able to delegate his/hers delegate request rights. It is possible to delegate the approval rights but not the actual request right.
This would not be a configuration setting for the admins but should be possible to be initiated by the user itself.
In that perspctive it differs a bit from the original request above. If this needs to be a new item please split the requests.
