Skip approval for requester property

In some cases, the requester of an activity can also serve as a workflow participant.

If the requester of an activity is also designated as a workflow participant, the approval request for the requester is skipped by the workflow unless the enrole.workflow.selfapproval property is set to true.

Use the enrole.workflow.skipapprovalforrequester property to specify whether other participants are skipped. The enrole.workflow.skipapprovalforrequester property is defined in the enRole.properties file. If the property is set to true, IBM Security Identity Manager skips approval for other resolved participant users. Skipping approval occurs if the following conditions are met:

• The requester, the user who submitted the request, is identified as one of the participant users as the result of participant resolution.

• The enrole.workflow.selfapproval property is set to false.

The approval is skipped.

If the property is set to false and the enrole.workflow.selfapproval property is set to false, the requester is skipped. The approval still goes to the other resolved participants. If the requester is identified as single approver as the result of participant resolution, then the approval is skipped.
