Authorizations to create substitutes

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Felix/Vineet,
Unfortunately, as a substitute executes the work item under the original user's access to the work item,
changing the possible agents won't help. And option 3 results in a work item in error.

I am not sure how you have it configured but here are few things you can
check:
 
1. If it is set up as a "general task" and open to everyone, then everyone
can execute it (including substitutes).
2. If that is true, then you may want to use "wf role assignment..  job or
position" to restrict them. (when you do agent assignment for the Task)
3. Another possibility is to check authorization for the transaction to
approve the task.. (check with Security folks if they can restrict).
 
These are just some pointers. I am not sure how your specific workflow is
setup but should give you some ideas.
 
Let me know if I can help.
Regards
Vineet

Hi everyone,
 
We have a workflow related to approval of invoices with monetary limits
assigned to different agents.
Unfortunately, some agents may conturn our internal rules  by assigning
their own substitutes (who may not have this level of approval...). If a
user can assign up to 10000 USD or invoices, assigning user X to his
substitute authorizes this user X to execute the approval task (Based on a
DECISION step...).
 
Is there any way to restrict users from maintaining their own substitutes?
 
I would like to avoid re-coding the DECISION step in order to verify the
monetary limit of the approver. Has anyone encountered such situation?
 
Thanks for any info.
 
Best regards,
 
Felix
