"Menagerie" is the only episode in which McCoy, a medical officer, is
given any authority. (BTW, both he and Giotto were Lt. Cmdrs.) Apart
from that, conn usually went Kirk, Spock, Scott, Sulu, DeSalle (because
Sulu wasn't on board, remember?) ...

One plausible reason for Uhura not having the conn is that she wasn't a
line officer as was Sulu (despite his service red uniform - I miss
those), nor could she pull rank on DeSalle. I guess Giotto was just a
temporary assignee.
