Self-Approval Settings

Select one of the following options:

  • Manual: The approver must manually approve the request.
  • Automatic: If the Requestor is also the approver, the request is automatically approved for that approver.
  • Do not allow self approval: When this option is selected, the following options become available. Self approval can be prohibited for either or both of the following cases:
    • When the requestor and approver are the same person
    • When the assignee (the user to whom roles/responsibilities are assigned in the Role or Responsibility Assignment requests) and approver are the same person

One of the following actions will be available for such circumstances:

  • Assign the request to an alternate approver, failing which, assign it to uses with the 'Administrator' role. If the Administrator is unavailable, cancel the request.
  • Assign the request to an alternate approver if one is available, or cancel the request.
  • Cancel the request.
