Account owners and admins can enable an account-level setting to allow users to add alternative hosts and assign scheduling privileges to other users who are in the same organization. These features allow for more productivity and flexibility for teams that schedule meetings for each other. 

Users can assign these roles to users on other accounts, but all accounts must be in a master/sub account configuration and account owners or admins must link the master/sub account in the Account Profile page to see this account-level setting.

Once these settings are configured for the account, users will follow the normal steps for scheduling a meeting with an alternative host or using scheduling privilege to schedule for another user.
