About Limits of Authority

The Limits of Authority settings lets you control who can authorize your workspace's cost-related documents. This is done by adding limits, which set the security roles that are allowed to bring a document to a certain state, and the conditions in which each role may do so. Once you have set a limit of authority for a particular document/state combination, only those roles specified in the limit can perform that state transition.

For more information on the effects of setting limits, see "Limiting Authority".

Limits of authority apply only to the workspace in which they are defined. In a new workspace, there are no limits by default. This means that anyone with sufficient security permissions can change the state of any cost-related document, regardless of its value.

Limits of authority information is organized over the following pages:

• Main: Contains every limit of authority for the current workspace, grouped by each document type for which you can set limits. For more information, see "Limits of Authority - Main".
• Properties: Contains information about the Limits of Authority document itself, such as the workspace in which the document was created. For more information, see "Document Properties".

Additional company information is also available on the following tabs:

• Activity Log: Records all activities of the Limits of Authority document, such as when limits were added, removed, and saved. For more information, see "Activity Log Tab".
