About This Feature

Overview

Permission Management helps teams manage template administrators and their management scope in the Light Approval admin console. It is useful when different people need to maintain different approval templates.

Main tasks include:

Open the Permission Management page from the Workbench and Light Approval admin console.
Add a template administrator and define the administrator type and management scope.
Edit or remove an existing administrator from the administrator list.

This workflow is suitable for teams that need clearer responsibility boundaries for approval templates. By centralizing administrator setup and scope assignment, teams can keep template management more organized.

Capability Summary	In the Light Approval admin console, users can open Permission Management, add template administrators, and define administrator type and management scope.	Microsoft 365 admin center lets admins assign administrator roles to users and also add multiple users from the Roles page.	Google Admin console lets admins assign specific admin roles to users, groups, or service accounts, and some roles can be limited by organizational unit.	Notion supports workspace roles such as workspace owner, membership admin, member, and guest, with page and teamspace permission levels.	Adobe Admin Console supports role-based access such as system admin and product admin, with role assignment for different responsibilities and access ranges.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: WPS keeps template administrator setup, administrator type, and management scope in one permission workflow for approval-template management.

Compared with WPS: focuses on organization-level admin privileges and organizational-unit scope, not approval-template management.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Permission Management is a closer fit for teams that need to assign responsibility by approval-template scope. The other products also provide role and permission controls, but they mainly focus on organization administration, workspace access, or product access rather than template management inside an approval workflow.
