Removing the approver role (E)

To remove the Approver role select a user or a group in the Users & groups tab, and press the Add / Remove button behind Roles in the right hand side pane.

Uncheck the Approver role in the dialog that appears and press OK.

If you remove the Approver role from a group or a user who is assigned already to one of the processes you will get the following warning:

In this dialog, you will see all processes for which the selected user or group was assigned as an approver. Press Yes to continue.

If there are some processes that are currently waiting for approval and require the selected user or a member of the selected group as an approver then you will get the following warning:

If all approvers designated to approve a process have already approved it except the one(s) that is/are losing its Approver role now then this process becomes automatically approved.
