$approverDNProperty = "assistant" # TODO: modify me

# Get the approver DN
try
{
    $approverDN = $Context.TargetObject.Get($approverDNProperty)
}
catch
{
    $Context.LogMessage("Property '$approverDNProperty' is empty", "Warning") # TODO: modify me
    return
}

# Get all requests awaiting for approval by user
$requests = $Context.TargetObject.GetApprovals("ADM_APPROVALSTATE_PENDING")
if ($requests.Length -eq 0)
{
    return # No requests awaiting for approval by the user
}

# Bind to the approver
$approver = $Context.BindToObjectByDN($approverDN)

# Remove the approver from each request
foreach ($requestID in $requests)

    # Bind to the request
    $requestGuid = [Guid]$requestID
    $path = "Adaxes://<GUID=$requestGuid>"
    $request = $Context.BindToObject($path)
    
    # Get approvers info
    $approversInfo = $request.GetApproversInfo()
    $approverTrustees = $approversInfo.ApproverTrustees
    if (-not($approverTrustees.IsApprover($approver)))
    {
        continue
    }
    
    # Remove the approver
    $approverTrustees.Remove($approver)
    
    # Update the approvers list
    $request.SetApproversInfo($approversInfo)
    $request.SetInfo()
