Depending on the provided configuration: - If Microsoft profile managers are used, department and custom approvers are ignored. - If department settings are used, Microsoft profile managers and custom approvers are ignored. - If custom approvers are provided, Microsoft profile managers and department settings are ignored. **No Approver (Self-Approval):** To set "no approver" for a member, provide an empty array: `approvers: []`. The system will automatically configure the member as their own approver (self-approval), which is internally recognized as "no approver" throughout the application. The 'id' and 'approval_process' fields are always required. When Microsoft profile managers are used, this call returns 503 while the Microsoft directory is unavailable. That condition is temporary, so the request may be retried. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://api.absentify.com/api/v1/openapi.json put /members/{id}/approvers openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: absentify CRUD API description: OpenAPI compliant REST API version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://api.absentify.com/api/v1 security: [] tags: - name: Departments - name: Leave types - name: Members - name: Requests - name: Public holidays - name: Workspace - name: Absences - name: Allowance Management - name: Out of office externalDocs: url: https://absentify.com/docs/en/api-reference paths: /members/{id}/approvers: put: tags: - Members summary: Update approvers for a member description: |2- This endpoint allows updating the approvers for a specific member based on the chosen approval process.
