Approval authorization overview (E)

To view a report showing who has the Approve right for what processes of your project press the Authorization overview button in the Authorization group of the Collaboration tab and then select the Approval item.

The following dialog will appear:

Starting from the third column there is one column per each process that has approvers designated either by the User manager or by a modeler.

The second row of this table is used to show who has assigned approvers for what processes. The next rows are created for each involved Approver group and Approver user as well as for each user who is a member of an Approver group but has not the Approver role himself/herself. So, approvers not assigned to any of the processes are not shown there.

If a group or a user is designated as an approver for the process then the 'Approve' right is placed in the corresponding cell. If a user inherits the Approve right from the group he belongs to then the text 'Approve' is in italic. For example, we can see that the group Approvers is assigned to the process Sales what results in the indirect assigning the second and third users to it. The second user, together with the first one, is directly assigned to the process New employee.

You as a modeler can only change the approval assignments of the Marketing process, HR process and Management process in the example above.. This can be done either at the moment a process is submitted for approval or, in the Approval overview, when the approvers are updated for a process that is being approved.
