# Setting Delegated Authorities (Proxies)

{% hint style="danger" %}
For information on how to set a Staking Proxy please see [Staking Proxy](/nova-wallet-wiki/staking/staking-proxy.md)
{% 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

1. In the **using the selected account** field, `select` the account that you wish to set delegate authorities (proxies) for (for example this would be your cold storage account).
2. In the **submit the following extrinsic** field, `select` proxy, and then addProxy(delegate, proxyType, delay).
3. In the **Id: AccountId** field, `input` the account that you wish to set as a delegated authority (proxied account).
4. In the **proxyType: PolkadotRunetimeProxyType** field, `select` the type of proxy that you wish to set:
   * "Any" allows the Delegated Authority to sign any transaction on your behalf ⚠️
   * "NonTransfer" allows the Delegated Authority to sign any transaction on your behalf, except balance transfers and XCM messages
   * "Governance" allows the Delegated Authority to sign Governance related transactions on your behalf, such as voting
   * "Staking" allows the Delegated Authority to sign Staking related transactions on your behalf, such as unstaking, nominating validators, etc.
5. Sign the transaction by pressing "Submit Transaction"

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.novawallet.io/nova-wallet-wiki/wallet-management/delegated-authorities-proxies/setting-delegated-authorities-proxies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
