Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine-readable mediums, and system to provide location services are described. In an embodiment, a method provides receiving, at a delegate server, authentication credentials from a sub-delegate of a delegate entity, determining at least one locator service for a wireless accessory device accessible to the sub-delegate with the received authentication credentials, receiving a request for the at least one locator service from the sub-delegate, evaluating a set of inputs to determine if a set of conditions corresponding to the at least one locator service and the sub-delegate are satisfied, upon determination that the set of conditions are satisfied, sending the request for the at least one locator service to a device locator server, and decrypting a response to the request received from the device locator server using encryption keys stored for the delegate entity.
