# Module: Approval Reassignment

Administrators can reassign active approvals to another person or group without cancelling the workflow. In addition, users who are not approval administrators can reassign or cancel approvals – if configured.

### Prerequisites

<div id="bkmrk-"></div><div id="bkmrk-der-benutzer-muss-in">- The user must have the field **"Can Reassign"** enabled in the **User Setup** (`DXP Can Reassign`).
- The workflow must be in status **Active** .

</div>### Perform a reassignment

1. Open the **AWF Workflow Management**.
2. Mark the desired active workflow and click **Show Details**
3. Action **Reassign Approval"** (or via the page **"Requests to Approve"**).
4. In the dialog **"Reassign Approval"**: 
    - **Recipient Type**: Approver / Workflow User Group / Salesperson/Purchaser
    - **User** or **Workflow User Group** select
    - **Reason**: mandatory – why is it being reassigned?
5. **OK** confirm.

The reassignment is logged in the **Audit Trail** (action type **"Workflow Reassigned"**).

### Additional extended permissions

In the **"Can Reassign"** (extended by AWF) there are the following fields:

- **Can Reassign** (`DXP Can Reassign`): allows the user to reassign active workflows.
- **Can Cancel** (`DXP Can Cancel`): allows the user to cancel active workflows.
