Managers can create permissions and assign them to specific users. Permissions can be used, for example, to limit the scope of individual orders by users. Users can also be permitted to place individual orders even if they exceed the limits set by budgets.
Below we explain how you can create permissions and assign them to specific users.

If a user exceeds the threshold set by a permission when placing an order, the order goes to an approver. You can find information on how to assign an approver to a user in the tutorial "Assigning an approver to a user".
If you have not assigned an approver to a user and the user exceeds the thresholf for orders set by a permission, the order is forwarded to the manager for review.
