Lead Role after delegating tasks

[ElaS]

When one delegates a task it is possible to check "Assume the lead role for
this task". Then a task update (reported hours) comes first to the lead, who
updates it in "View my tasks screen" and doing so passes it to PM.

The question is - does the task lead have any choice but to accept the
hours? Can s/he correct the submitted values? Can s/he reject the submitted
values? How?

Does the function depend on managed/non-managed time periods option?

There is no direct way for the Lead Role person to either reject a task
update or correct it from his/her own timesheet page in PWA. Therefore,
this makes the Lead Role a kind of "bottleneck" in the task update process.
The best the Lead Role can do is to call, visit, or e-mail the team member
and ask him/her to correct the task update. An indirect way to correct the
update would require your organization to give the Lead Role people
permission to Adjust Actuals. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the very clear answer. This will help me with my analysis and
design job.
