Approving records

The system administrator might designate you as an approver of an incident, change request, service request, or custom object in the approval process. When an object is submitted for approval, you can view approvals that are assigned to you or your queue. You can approve or reject a single record or multiple records simultaneously, and you can reassign a request to another approver. You must have read permission for the object that you want to approve. However, if you do not have read permission, you can reassign the record to another approver.
