Determining the approver using the example of an approval role for the request's recipient primary department (approval procedure RD):

  1. Determine the requester’s primary department (UID_Department).

  2. The application role (UID_AERole) is determined through the department’s role approver (UID_RulerContainer).

  3. Determine the secondary employees assigned to this application role. These can issue approval.

  4. If there is no approval role given for the primary department or the approval role does not have any members, the approval role is determined for the parent department.

  5. The request cannot be approved if no approval role with members is found by drilling up to the top department.

NOTE: When approvers are found using the approval procedures RO or IO, and inheritance for business roles is defined from the bottom up, note the following:

If no role approver is given for the primary business role, the role approver is determined from the child business role.
