Zorluk: Çok zorApproval Processes

An administrator is troubleshooting an Approval Process configured for a custom object named Project Request. Upon initial submission, an initial submission action is configured to lock the record. However, during testing, a sales manager who is assigned as the approver for Step 1 is still able to edit field values on the record while its status is 'Pending Approval'. System administrators wish to understand why this user can edit the locked record while non-approver submitters cannot. Which approval process configuration setting accounts for this behavior?

  1. The Approval Process Record Editability setting is configured to allow Administrators OR the currently assigned approver to edit records during the approval process.Cevap
  2. B
    The record locking action was omitted from the Initial Submission Actions section during approval process setup.
  3. C
    The sales manager's profile has the 'Modify All Data' permission, which completely disables approval locking mechanism triggers on custom objects.
  4. D
    The Organization-Wide Default (OWD) sharing setting for the Project Request object is set to Public Read/Write, overriding approval locking.

Cevap

The Approval Process Record Editability setting is configured to allow Administrators OR the currently assigned approver to edit records during the approval process.
Salesforce Approval Processes feature a specific configuration property called Record Editability. When set to 'Administrators OR the currently assigned approver', the system allows the user assigned to the current approval step to edit the record even while it remains locked to all other non-admin users.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the observed behavior
The record is locked upon initial submission so standard users cannot edit it, but the assigned approver (sales manager) can still edit fields while the record is in the approval step.
Identifying that only assigned approvers can edit helps isolate step-specific editability settings from global locking failures.
2
Evaluate Salesforce Approval Process properties
During Approval Process detail setup, administrators select Record Editability options: 'Administrators ONLY' or 'Administrators OR the currently assigned approver'.
Choosing 'Administrators OR the currently assigned approver' grants editing rights to whoever is currently assigned to approve the active step.
3
Confirm why other settings do not apply
OWD permissions do not bypass approval locking, and omitting locking entirely would leave the record editable by all users rather than just the approver.
Ruling out misconceptions ensures accurate diagnosis of Salesforce record locking mechanics.
