Click Send email to grant access if you're sure.The delegate will receive a verification email explaining that you've granted access to them.
After the delegate confirms this request, it may take up to 30 minutes for the verification process to be completed. To see if the delegate has confirmed access to your account, look at the Accounts tab in Settings
