New "SF-182 Add Approver" Permission

Prior to this enhancement, administrators could not restrict users, managers, and approvers from adding additional approvers to the SF-182 approval workflow via the training details page.

With this enhancement, administrators can now activate the add approver functionality with the help of the new “SF-182 Add Approver” security permission and configure the permission with additional constraints. The new permission allows greater control over whether approvers can be included in the SF-182 approval workflow and can be constrained to restrict which approvers can be selected.

How Does this Enhancement Benefit My Organization?

  • It allows configuring whether managers, approvers, or employees will see the Add Approver option on the training details page.
  • The Add Approver option on the training details page will be hidden or displayed depending on the security configuration.
  • Allows greater control over whether approvers can be included in the SF-182 approval workflow.

Considerations

If the security permission is not added, the Add Approver option will not be visible in the training details for the SF-182 requests.
