Authorization Levels

The Authorization Levels tab displays information about authorization levels for both user groups and specific users. You can define approval levels at both the group and user levels. Higher numeric values indicate a higher level of authorization.

If approval authorization levels are assigned at the group level, all users in that group have the same approval level.

Important: Defining an approval level for a user overrides the user’s group approval level. For example, if you assign an approval level of 7 to a user who is part of a group with an approval level of 5, the user’s new approval level is 7.
