Same with plain forwarding. Yeah, doesn't make sense, after all you had to give permission to set this up - now there's no way to revoke. Just set up a filter and forget about it.

#33Trigger a password reset, use delegated access to reset the password, take over the account, remove delegation.
Sounds good unless you have 2FA

". Or in my case where my wife regularly points out she is effectively my and our children's PA" As someone with aspegers it took me 30 years to realize this type of communication. It's so open but without emotion that I assume they don't care. The reality is often they are trying to be nice about expressing their frustration
That's impressive insight as many people I know without aspergers will often miss this sort of thing. Communication is hard. So congratulations to you!
I can't tell if you are being sarcastic so obviously I'm not there yet

It could be a law. I feel like calling it a human right cheapens what those are
Isn't this a part of the right to rectification in the GDPR?
In this case it’s not about rectification (the information is factually correct), but you can remove your consent to the processing our your personal data for this purpose.

#36If i'm honest it makes sense the admin should do it. For the person invited to uninvite themselves after is a bit weird.

I believe the delegated access does not allow you to change passwords.

#38Would suggest to keep delegated access but use automated filters in Gmail so that those mails:
- skip the inbox
- are automatically marked as read
- either deleted or place those mails in a separate and hidden folder
Painful memories should be avoided this way

#39I use fastmail and use sieve filtering to reject all emails I don't want. They don't even show up in my email account, there is no record of them.
