Delete restriction on approvals

[Vijay Baokar]

Hello Everyone,

I need to create ACL to Restrict Users from deleting their own approvals however i have created an ACL for admin role which will allow only admins to delete approval records but till approvers can delete the record.

Why do you want to delete the approvals, won't that affect the overall workflow.

If approval is not needed, they can reject the approval right?

@Aman Kumar SI just want to restrict users from deleting approval records currently they have access to delete them.

@Vijay Baokar 

ah got it, why don't you go to Delete ACL fo the approval table and update requires role as admin or nobody.

Also, you can disable deletion by setting this property to true "glide.approvals.restrict_delete"

Hi @Vijay Baokar 

Greetings!!

It not look like a good use case, why an approver will delete own approval record from system?
