How are editing permissions inherited during the substitution process?

Updated over 2 months ago

When Approvers go on holiday, they or the Administrator can assign a Substitute to handle approval requests on their behalf as well as set a start and end date for this. During this period, all approval requests normally heading to the absent Approver will instead be routed to their Substitute for authorisation.

ApprovalMax supports the delegation of editing permissions for Approvers:

  • If the Substitute already has editing permissions, those will be applied.

  • If a Substitute has no editing permissions but the user they're standing in for has, the Substitute will automatically inherit those permissions for the duration of the substitution period.

  • If a user who has no editing permissions becomes a Substitute for multiple users who have these permissions, the Substitute will not be able to edit.
