Requesting a leave of absence
Administrators can request a leave of absence on behalf of a resource. When the administrator initiates the request, the requested leave is visible only to the resource and to the Absence administrator. If the manager or the Absence Administrator initiated the request, the requested leave is visible to the manager, the resource, and the Absence administrator.
When the leave is in Requested status, the manager or resource who can see the request can update the leave or cancel it. The Absence administrator can reject or cancel it. Canceled and rejected leaves are not displayed on the initiator's view. The administrator can still view the leaves, update them, and change their status back to Requested or Approved.
