This videos shows how create an approval flow for a Finance portal access in ServiceNow via catalog item. I have used ServiceNow Flow Designer rather than workflow. Use Case: If you customer or client is asking to automate an approval process which they are doing manually. Link for Service Catalog

Hi,
Question here is: If user is a part of certain group, skip the approval step why you want to create approval record and make it approve.
