To view the properties of the Verify Approval Authority for Approve Action subprocess or the Verify Approval Authority for Approve and Forward Action subprocess, select the process in the navigator tree, then choose Properties from the Edit menu. This subprocess has a result type of Yes/No, indicating that when the subprocess completes, it has a result of Yes or No. This result corresponds to the lookup code in the Yes/No lookup type in the Standard item type.

This process activity is not runnable, indicating that it cannot be initiated as a top-level process to run, but can be run only when called by another higher-level process.

The Verify Approval Authority for Approve Action subprocess is called by the Response with Approve Action subprocess to verify an approver's approval authority. The Verify Approval Authority for Approve and Forward Action subprocess is called by the Response with Approve and Forward Action subprocess to verify an approver's approval authority.

The subprocess begins at node 1.

At node 2, the subprocess checks the approver's approval authority limits defined in the Approval Groups and Assign Approval Groups windows. (See: Defining Approval Groups. See: Assigning Approval Groups.)

If the Document Approval Manager fails at node 2, node 3 sends a notification of the failure to the approver. Once the Document Approval Manager is restarted successfully, the workflow continues if the approver or system administrator responds to the notification with Retry.

Except for their names, the subprocess Verify Approval Authority for Approve Action and the subprocess Verify Approval Authority for Approve and Forward Action are identical. They are named differently because they are used by two different subprocesses.
