# Setting Delegated Authorities (Proxies)

{% hint style="danger" %}
For information on how to set a Staking Proxy please see [staking-proxy](https://docs.novawallet.io/nova-wallet-wiki/staking/staking-proxy "mention")
{% endhint %}

Currently, in order to set Delegated Authorities that are not Staking related, you should use Polkadot JS Apps: <https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fpolkadot-rpc-tn.dwellir.com#/extrinsics>&#x20;

Make sure that you have the correct network selected, then head to Developer -> Extrinsics
