Assigning Approval Unit Owners and Reviewers
Approval unit ownership is inherited from the approval unit parents. Approval unit reviewers are also inherited. You can specify different approval unit owners and reviewers other than those inherited by the approval units.
When you assign owners, the Copy Owners to corresponding approval group members option is enabled by default. This option allows you to assign the same Owner to all the phases if applicable. If you would like a different owner for a different phase, you can deselect this option before you enter the owner information for the entity.
You must be a Service Administrator to assign approval unit Owners and Reviewers.
-
For Owner, you must assign one user or group as the Owner of the approval unit. The Owner should be assigned to the top level entity of the approval unit hierarchy.
-
For Reviewer, you can assign one or more users or groups as Reviewers of the approval unit.
If you select individual users as Reviewers, all users must perform the Approve action, and the approvals must follow the order in which the users are entered. If you select a group (or groups) as a Reviewer, any user within the group can be the Reviewer and can promote to the next level.
