Bulk editing approvals
Roles and permissions
The following users can bulk edit approvals:
Anyone with manager permissions for the approval.
Note
When a user is added as an approver, that user is automatically added to the parent object membership with viewer permissions and to the approval with contributor permissions. An Administrator can modify the approver's permissions on the object and the approval if necessary. For example, adding an approver to a policy approval, adds that user to the policy membership as a viewer and to the approval as a contributor.
Using the bulk options on the Work items > Approvals tab, you can reassign, cancel, or update the due date for one or more approvals. If you select approvals where you don't have the correct permissions, the bulk actions are grayed out. See Understanding the Work items approvals tab for information on other approval fields and options.
