Send or reply to emails that were sent to you. When they send a message, their email address will show. For example, the sender will show as "sent by johnsmith@gmail.com."
Read and delete messages.
View and add to your contacts.
Delegates can't do things like:

Add a Delegate

Click Settings.
Click the Accounts and Import or Accounts tab.
In the "Grant access to your account" section, click Add another account. Note: If you’re using Gmail through your work or school, your organization may restrict email delegation. If you don’t see this setting, contact your admin.
Enter the email address of the person you want to add. (Note: The account you're delegating must have "Require user to change password at next sign-in" disabled.)
Click Next Step > Send email to grant access.
The person you added will get an email asking them to confirm. It may take up to 24 hours for you to see them as a delegate after they confirm. Note: The invitation expires after a week.
