# How to granularly delegate SharePoint activities to non-administrative users

SharePoint Manager Plus offers non-invasive delegation where you can granularly delegate activities to non-administrative users. By assigning a role to a technician, they can perform only the activities associated with that particular role.

SharePoint Manager Plus comes built-in with two help desk roles.

- **Super Admin:** Has access to all actions in the product.
- **Operator:** Has access to the *Reports and Audit* tabs only.

## Creating a custom help desk role

You can create your own customized role to allow technicians to access only particular reports and management operations of your choice. Follow the steps below to create a custom role.

1. Navigate to the **Delegation** tab > **Help Desk Delegation** > **Help Desk Roles**.
2. Click the **Create New Role** button located at the top-right corner.
3. Enter the **Role Name** and **Description**.
4. From the list of tasks listed under *Reports, Audits, Management, Monitoring, Migration, Backup,* and *Others,* select the tasks that you wish to include in this role.
5. To select all the tasks available in a tab, select the check box next to the tab's name.
6. To limit the role to either online or on-premises environments, select the respective check boxes on the side bar.
7. Click **Create**.
