# Out of Office
If you’ll be away, you can set your out of office status and designate another user to oversee your events. Your assigned delegate will have the same level of access to your events and can send, review, and award them as needed.
### How does out of office work?
When you set out of office for a specific time period, all your open, closed, pending, and scheduled events are automatically reassigned to another buyer, supervisor, or admin. If you’re part of a Fairmarkit team, your delegate must be a team member.
Once the set time period ends, your events are reassigned back to you.
