Is there a way/role for a Change Manager to override Business Approvals?

We are looking to implement a solution which would allow our Change Managers to override system approvals to progress Change Workflows in the event that a Business Approver tied in to a specific configuration item already provided their approval manually (via email most of the time),=.

Reason for this is because not all business approvers have itil license but they would certainly gain the approval role.

Greetings Jayr,

 You would want to do something a bit more granular than Sachin suggested of granting approval_admin. You should create a role, and grant ACL's for that role to approve approval records that are associated with changes that meet any other restrictions you need.

I have created a custom role and a new ACL below but the user with the role is unable to approve the Change Request. I also added it to the role list instead of in the script and user is still unable to approve. Any suggestions?
