Andrew, Here's the quick and dirty:
1. Create a People entry. Call it "Business User" Give it a login id of say "bususer1" (or whatever) 2. Add that dummy user to a support group. (Can be new or existing... whatever) 3. Create the appropriate approval mapping as Individual to the CI or CTI... whatever. 4. Go into Approval Administration and go to Role or open up the AP:Role form and create a new record. 5. Call the role name the same as the login ID of the dummy business user: bususer1 6. In the role members, add the real business users you want to add. 7. From now on, when you need to modify membership, you need to just modify that AP:role entry. 8. If you need to set the One must Sign or All Must Sign, that must be done at the approval process level. Hope this helps... or whatever :) From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Andrew C Goodall Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 6:57 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: ITSM 7.5 Change Management Business Approvals ** All, I have a need to implement a business approval process for change requests. The approver list will change depending upon the application categorized in the change request. The approvers will not be IT Support staff / Infrastructure Change Users - they are business users. How do you propose I accomplish this in the Change Management approval process? It appears the Change management approval process design is geared towards individuals or IT support staff, they seemed to forget about approvals at the business end by more than one person. Setting up these people in support groups is not feasible due to the large number of applications that need to be driven via this process. Thanks in advance.
