Caution

Users also need General Configuration View permission to view or View/Edit Exception Management in Server Settings.

Permission	Description	Roles Example

View	The Exception Management section is visible on the Server Settings page. Users can view the approval configuration workflow and the list of approvers (names and emails).

Required and recommended permissions

Consider adding the following permissions:

Permissions	Permission Level	Reason
General Configuration	View or View/Edit	View: The Exception Management section is on the Server Settings page. Without this permission, users cannot view the section. Required. View/Edit: Users who configure exception approval workflows may also need to manage other server settings (email contacts, Google Maps key, etc.).
Issue Exclusion	View	Approver administrators should understand the exclusion/exception rules they are configuring for approval workflows. Without this, they are configuring approval settings without visibility into the rules being approved. Strongly recommended.
Exception Management Admin	View	Understanding the exception rules that will go through the approval workflow helps configure appropriate approvers and approval requirements. Strongly recommended.
