A delegate account uses its own login, separate from yours and from any other delegate account.

Transfer, push, and delete permissions always stay locked to your primary account, no matter how a delegate account is configured. A delegate account can't move domains out of your account, push them to another account, or delete them, regardless of which other permissions you grant it.
