Delegate task on behalf of another

We have admin assistants who need to delegate their manager's task to someone else, but they're not able to since it seems like the only people that can modify a task are the very ones the task is assigned to. Is there a way for the admin assistants to delegate a task on behalf of their managers besides logging in with their manager's account?

They can do it if you set them as site collection administrators

Thanks for the response. What if I ran the entire workflow in an Action Set and checked the box to run the workflow as the person who published the workflow (which is me and I’m a site collection admin). Would it then give them the ability to delegate on behalf of another?

If you assigned the task to a group that the manager and assistant were both a member of then either of them could act on or delegate the task.
