Abstract
A system and method are disclosed in an automated expense report system for identifying a delegated user and granting to the user delegate rights. At least one granted right includes one or more permissions to carry out certain operations in the expense report system such as permission to create an expense report, permission to access receipt data, permission to approve an expense report, or permission to view an expense report. At least one permission is associated with one or more workflows by which the operations are carried out. In one embodiment, data that identifies delegates is sent to an image capture device coupled to the expense report system and a delegated user carries out operations in the expense report system from the image capture device. In one embodiment, the expense report system keeps a database of the users and those delegating persons for whom a user is permitted to act.
