Is there any possibility to grant a scheduled task to view ALL pending approval requests?

Question

I want to query all pending approval Request to check if there's already an pending request for a specific object. I can create a security Role with the needed rights, but cannot assign it to the scheduled task. is there any otther possibility to check?

Hello,

Do we understand correctly that you need to query pending approval requests using a PowerShell script executed in a scheduled task? If we do, there is no need to grant any permissions to a scheduled task. It is executed by the Adaxes service and already has the rights to view all approval requests by default. If this is not what you meant, please describe the required workflow in all the details with screenshots and live examples. You can post them here or send them to support@adaxes.com.

Meanwhile i was able to solve this issue. I was using the example from the sdk description. But since I'm running in adaxes i can use $context to bind to the approvals.

Another question regarding approvals: If the Retention Period is reached, the request is just deleted. It doesn't change its status, right? To trigger an action i have to use something like this: https://scripts.adaxes.com/approvedeny-outdated-approval-requests correct?

Yes, that is correct.

Yes, if you have a business rule triggering upon updating an approval request, you can use the mentioned script to trigger the rule.
