# delegateSources

The event sources delegated to the person using your app.

```
var delegateSources: [EKSource] { get }
```

## Discussion

By default, delegate event sources aren’t included in an event store’s [`sources`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore/sources). To access events and reminders in a delegate source:

1. Use [`init()`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore/init()) to initialize an [`EKEventStore`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore).
2. Use [`requestAccess(to:completion:)`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore/requestAccess(to:completion:)) to request access to the desired entity types.
3. Get the delegate sources from the event store using [`delegateSources`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore/delegateSources).
4. After the request is granted, initialize another [`EKEventStore`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore) using [`init(sources:)`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore/init(sources:)), passing the delegate stores.
