If the approver applies the Approve action to the task, Active Roles allows the operation to be performed.

If the approver applies the Approve action to the task, Active Roles allows the operation to be performed.

If the approver applies the Reject action to the task, Active Roles cancels the operation.

An Approval rule may be configured so that a single task is assigned to multiple approvers. For example, a group can be designated as an approver, which causes the task to be assigned to every member of the group. If this is the case, the first of the approvers to apply the Approve or Reject action to the task completes the task.
If the task receives the Approve action, Active Roles allows the operation to be performed. If the Reject action is applied to the task, Active Roles cancels the operation. See the figure for an example of multiple approvers in a workflow.
Figure 140: Multiple approvers
The number of approval tasks generated by a single workflow instance depends on how many approval rules are included in the workflow (one task per each rule). Therefore, if a workflow has multiple approval rules, multiple tasks will be created and assigned to the respective approvers.
Within a single workflow, approval rules are applied in a sequential manner. This means that a subsequent rule is applied only after the requested operation has passes the previous rule.
If each of the tasks receives the Approve action, Active Roles allows the operation to be performed.
Figure 141: Multiple tasks
If at least one of the tasks receives the Reject action, Active Roles cancels the operation.
