Question

Difficulty: EasyApproval Processes

A company requires department supervisors to initiate approval requests for travel expenses on behalf of team members. Which configuration component of a Salesforce approval process specifies which users or groups are authorized to start the approval workflow for a record?

  1. A
    Initial Submission Actions
  2. Allowed SubmittersAnswer
  3. C
    Step Entry Criteria
  4. D
    Final Approval Actions

Answer

The Allowed Submitters configuration setting specifies which users, roles, or groups are permitted to submit records for approval.
The 'Allowed Submitters' setting directly defines which users, public groups, roles, or record roles (such as Owner or Creator) are granted permission to initiate the approval process for a given record.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the requirement
The requirement asks how to restrict or grant permissions for users to initiate an approval process.
Different users or roles may need to submit records on behalf of others.
2
Evaluate Salesforce approval process setup sections
The 'Allowed Submitters' section controls submission eligibility by specifying user types, roles, portal types, or public groups.
Initial submission actions, entry criteria, and final actions serve execution logic rather than user submission access control.
