# Using a delegated administrator for Quick Setup
<a name="quick-setup-delegated-administrator"></a>

After you register a delegated administrator account for Quick Setup, users with the appropriate permissions in that account can create, update, view, and delete configuration managers that target organizational units within your AWS Organizations structure. This delegated administrator account can also manage configuration managers previously created by your organization's management account.

The management account in Organizations can designate one account within your organization as a delegated administrator. When you register an account as a delegated administrator for Quick Setup, this account automatically becomes a delegated administrator for AWS CloudFormation StackSets and Systems Manager Explorer as well, since these services are required to deploy and monitor Quick Setup configurations.

**Note**  
At this time, the patch policy configuration type isn't supported by the delegated administrator for Quick Setup. Patch policy configurations for an organization must be created and maintained in the management account for an organization. For more information, see [Creating a patch policy](quick-setup-patch-manager.md#create-patch-policy).
