Hi,
I am trying to approval the request but I am getting the error like "Security does not allow the execution of that action against the specified record".
If I click on the Approval but Alert message will come like "Security does not allow the execution of that action against the specified record".
I have attached screenshot below please help me.
Thanks,
Manjunath
