Special approval permission

There is a special approval permission that allows a user to approve an issue for any value. This permission is uwapproveall. Guidewire provides this permission to approve issues that no user can approve. Guidewire recommends that you never use this permission unless there is a time-critical policy that cannot be advanced by any underwriter. An incomplete or misconfigured set of authority profiles can cause this situation. In the default configuration, only su is given this permission.

A user with the uwapproveall permission is presented with a Special Approve button that allows them to approve any issue that they could not otherwise approve. The user must confirm that they wish to use this permission before the application displays the screen that allows them to approve the issue.
