Participants in the Approval Process
Participants in an approval process are as follows:
| FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Approver or Alternate Approver | A IRC user with the authority to approve or
deny a request. An approver must have a valid e-mail address and IRC login
account.
If a pre-defined approver is out of office, an alternate approver appointed in place of the pre-defined approver may approve a request. |
| Default Approver | An approver who processes a request in the
absence of a matching approver.
For example, if a user's manager is selected as the approver for a stage, and the user for whom the request is created has no manager defined, the default approver will be the approver for that stage. Every approval template must have a default approver in addition to the approver. |
| Application Administrator | A IRC user with a valid e-mail address and permissions to assign or revoke roles in an ERP application in case of manual completion of requests. |
