System administrators subject to workflow?


(Ellis Taylor) #1

Hi all,

 

I'm currently setting up workflows for a site, as I create them I've been applying them to the appropriate area.
I've not included any of our system admins in the workflows as I didnt think that they were subject to workflow and could approve assets regardless of workflows applied. Am I wrong in thinking this?

 

I'm reluctant to add the system admins to the workflows as they will then receive a heap load of unnecessary emails. Does anyone have a better way around this?

 

 

Cheers!

System Administrators will be need to be added to your approval user groups. 

 

 

  Approval from an Administrator

An administrator, System Administrator or the Root User can, at any time during the approval process reject it. To do this, go to the Workflow screen of the asset. In the Change Status field select Reject Changes and click Commit.

If the administrator, System Administrator or the Root User is not part of a condition in the Workflow Stream, they will not be able to approve the changes.

Brilliant! Thanks for clearing that up. For some reason I thought SysAdm's and root users were exempt from workflows but I will run through and add them in!

 

Cheers.
