title: Copilot
description: Safely delegate tasks without sharing login information.

<!-- The lines above are required by Jekyll to process the .md file -->

# About
<!--
The Copilot feature allows you to safely delegate tasks without sharing login information. Your chosen user can access your account through their own Expensify account, with customizable permissions to manage expenses, create reports, and more. This can even be extended to users outside your policy or domain.
-->

# How-to
<!--
# How to add a Copilot
1. Log into the Expensify desktop website.
2. Navigate to *Settings > Account > Account Details > _Copilot: Delegated Access_*.
3. Enter the email address or phone number of your Copilot and select whether you want to give them Full Access or the ability to Submit Only.
- *Full Access Copilot*: Your Copilot will have full access to your account. Nearly every action you can do and everything you can see in your account will also be available to your Copilot. They *will not* have the ability to add or remove other Copilots from your account.
- *Submit Only Copilot*: Your Copilot will have the same limitations as a Full Access Copilot, with the added restriction of not being able to approve reports on your behalf.
4. Click Invite Copilot.

If your Copilot already has an Expensify account, they will get an email notifying them that they can now access your account from within their account as well.
If they do not already have an Expensify account, they will be provided with a link to create one. Once they have created their Expensify account, they will be able to access your account from within their own account.

## Copilot Permissions
A Copilot can do the following actions in your account:
- Prepare expenses on your behalf
- Approve and reimburse others' expenses on your behalf (Note: this applies only to **Full Access** Copilots)

- View all expenses you can see within your own account

## Copilot restrictions
A Copilot cannot do the following actions in your account:
- Change or reset your password
- Add/remove other Copilots

## Forwarding receipts to [email protected] as a Copilot

1. Forward the email to [email protected]
2. Put the email of the account in which you are a copilot in the subject line
3. Send

# FAQ
<!--
## Can a Copilot's Secondary Login be used to forward receipts?
Yes! A Copilot can use any of the email addresses tied to their account to forward receipts into the account of the person they're assisting.

## I'm in Copilot mode for an account; Can I add another Copilot to that account on their behalf?
No, only the original account holder can add another Copilot to the account.
## Is there a restriction on the number of Copilots I can have or the number of users for whom I can act as a Copilot?
There is no limit! You can have as many Copilots as you like, and you can be a Copilot for as many users as you need.
