How are editing permissions inherited during the substitution process?

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.
