Users should not be able to approve their own requests

[Aparna Gurav]

Hello Team,

Can anyone suggest how to achieve this requirement?

If the approver = created by user(Requested for) then they should not be able to approve the request.

Hi,

That would be a custom BR that needs to be built.

Here is a BR that I think will do the job.

Condition: current.source_table  ==  'sc_req_item' && current.sysapproval.opened_by ==  current.approver


Script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

	// Add your code here
	
	current.approver = current.approver.manager;
	current.comments = 'Approver is also Requester - Moved to Manager';

})(current, previous);

It was modified from a BR that I've used to auto-approved if Requester is also Approver. I haven't tested it.

Regards,
Niklas

@Niklas Peterson :Which Table do need to use?

[Niklas Peterson]

To run the BR on? The sysapproval_approver table.

(function () {

var current = g_form.getTableName();

var currentUserID = g_user.userID;

var requestedForID = g_form.getValue('requested_for');

if (currentUserID == requestedForID) {

g_form.setReadOnly('approval', true);

g_form.addInfoMessage('Self-approval is not allowed.');
} else {

g_form.setReadOnly('approval', false);

g_form.clearMessages();
}
})();
