Note that setting up delegates doesn’t automatically forward your calls to them.
Only users that your support team has enabled to be delegates in Skype for Business can make and answer calls on behalf of someone else. You can designate up to 25 delegates, and you can act as a delegate for up to 25 delegators. Non-Enterprise voice customers cannot be set up as delegates for calling.
Note: Delegates will receive calls for the delegator, but the delegator won’t receive calls for the delegate. Delegates can call the delegator regardless if “Do Not Disturb” is set (will show to delegate as “Urgent Interruptions Only”).
