Temporary rights of an approval delegate

An approval delegate temporarily gains the rights for the assignment group of the delegating operator while the approval delegation is active. After the approval delegation period ends, the delegate's temporary rights for the assignment group revert to their original status.

Approval delegation never changes a delegate's original application profile or operator record. Service Manager only changes a delegate's assignment group rights in memory when the following conditions occur.

  • When the system notifies the delegate
  • When a delegate views or acts on an approval

For example, a manager wants to delegate approval authority to a technician. When the manager delegates approval authority to the technician, the technician temporarily becomes a member of all of the assignment groups that the manager is an approver of.
