What are approvers?

As an approver, your user profile must contain the approval type for the approvals you will make, and you must be a member of the approval group associated with each approval type that is listed in your profile. For example, the out-of-box Change Management Coordinator profile assigns the approval type of Assessment. If you are a member of the Assessment approval group, you can approve any change request that requires that approval type.

However, if your user profile changes and you no longer have the Assessment approval type, you cannot approve change requests that require the Assessment approval type. Even if you remain a member of the approver list for the Assessment approval type, you cannot approve unless your individual profile specifies this type.
