What permission is required to enable “Approve or Reject” for an employee?

The required permission is “Approve or Reject Leave Applications.” For an employee to approve or reject a leave application, this permission must be enabled specifically for them, and their name must also be included as an approver in one of the approval configurations (whether as a Direct Manager, Department Manager, or specifically selected employee).

Note: This permission is not enabled by default for the Employee role in the Employee Roles settings. It must be enabled manually by the technical/administrative team if you want to allow regular employees, not only managers, to approve requests.

• Simply having this permission is not sufficient. The employee must also be listed as an approver at an active approval level in one of the approval configurations for them to receive requests for approval.
• If the employee is listed at an approval level that has not yet been reached in a multi-cycle approval workflow, they cannot take action until the request reaches their level.
