Configuration
Functionality of the skp parameter enableApprovalManager has changed: (CR 170758)
The parameter now determines whether the manager approval option should display for LPs and ILT session enrollments. Disabling will auto-approve all LP and ILT session enrollments that are pending manager approvals.
The parameter no longer affects whether the Approval Manager and My Approvals Quick Links display. Those links will always display and the Approval Manager page will be accessible (to appropriate users) because there are other manager approval related actions that cannot be disabled.
The skp parameter llc_requires_approval still determines whether manager approval request is needed for LLCs, but was updated to auto-approve any LLC enrollments that are pending manager approval at the time the parameter is set to false. This parameter no longer relies on the enableApprovalManager parameter being enabled to allow the manager to view the approval requests on the Approval Manager page, since the enableApprovalManager parameter no longer controls this.
Additionally, the name of the web site switch Enable Manager Approval changed to User Manager Selection. The functionality of the switch did NOT change. It still controls the skp.enableUserManager setting which enables or disables the ability to select an approval manager for a user. The name was changed so it is not confused with controlling the skp.enableApprovalManager parameter.
