A Super approver can be used to assign a second individual as an approver for requests that require approval such as timeoff request or expense reports. The difference between standard Approvers and Supper Approvers is that Super Approvers are exclusively used within Approval workflows that are built in Workflow Builder. Being a Super Approver in the system has no other meaning, and confers no additional access rights other than being available as a selection as the recipient of an approval workflow step.
Let's take the example where we use a Super approver in a time off approval workflow. In order to assign one of the employees as a Super approver, we'll have to tick the Super approver? option in:
People > Employees > Change
Please Note - Any level of user can be made into a super approver on the system, but this access will not give the employee any additional system modules.
Next, you will need to assign this Super Approver to another employee that you would like them to approve requests for. Locate the employee under People > Employees. On the Change icon of their employee card, and select them in the Super Approver dropdown:
Then, you can use the Super Approver as the recipient of a workflow step.
Finally, to assign Super approvers to time off approval workflows, select Employee's Super approver as the recipient. In this example, the time off approval requests should go to the employee's manager and super approver with either person having the ability to approve the request.
The employee's super approval (and manager) will be emailed regarding this approval. They will be able to activate it from the workflow link on their home screen or the link in the email.
