|

In Odoo, not just anyone can approve expense reports, only users with the necessary rights (or
|
||||
permissions) can. This means that a user **must** have at least *Team Approver* rights for the
|
||||
*Expenses* app. Employees with the necessary rights can review expense reports, approve or reject
|
||||
them, and provide feedback thanks to the integrated communication tool.
