Functional Area
Functional Areas (FA) helps to define a custom Approver for an Approval Process. The approval process is dynamically resolved for an User Provision approval process. The FA definition can be hierarchical. The leaf node of the hierarchy contains the Approvers for a process.
Functional Areas, in an approval process, ensures that the provisions are routed to the correct approvers. This removes the limitation of hard coding approvers in approval process templates.
Functional Areas can also be used for Emergency Access Provisions.
