Company Administrators can always access these settings.
- Depending on your company's settings, Supervisors may also be able to access these settings.

Plans can have up to two approval processes:
- Initial Approval to become an "Active" plan in the beginning of the year.
- Final Approval to become "Ready For Final Review."
These approval processes involve setting up a queue of approvers you would like to approve the plan from within an employee's plan. This is typically completed at the beginning of the year, but can be changed as needed.
It's worth noting that when you create a performance plan, the queues are automatically built in accordance with company settings. And from there, they can be edited if necessary.
