Allowing Admins to Approve and Assess All Learnings

Overview

By default in SuperPath, approvals and assessments are assigned to specific individuals on each learning item. This ensures the right people are responsible for reviewing progress and maintaining quality. However, in some organisations, this can create bottlenecks, especially when approvers or assessors are unavailable.

To solve this, SuperPath now allows you to enable a setting that lets admins approve and assess all learnings across the platform, regardless of assignment.

✅ Why use this feature?

Enabling admin-wide approvals and assessments gives your team more flexibility and control.

Key benefits:

• Reduce delays when assigned approvers are unavailable
• Speed up workflows across learning requests and assessments
• Increase visibility for admins across all learning activity
• Avoid bottlenecks in high-volume environments
• Support smaller teams where roles may overlap

🔒 Default behaviour (before enabling)

Before this setting is enabled:

• Approvers and assessors must be explicitly assigned to each learning
• Only those assigned users can:
• • Approve learning requests
  • Complete assessments
• Admins cannot override these assignments

This ensures structured workflows but can limit flexibility.

⚙️ What changes when enabled?

Once this setting is turned on:

• All admins can:
• • View all approval requests
  • Approve any learning request
  • Access and complete assessment requests
• Admins are no longer restricted to only items assigned to them
• Workflows become more flexible and responsive

⚠️ Important notes

• This setting can only be enabled by an Owner
• It applies to all admins in the workspace
• Assigned approvers and assessors still exist — this setting simply allows admins to step in when needed

🧭 How to enable admin approvals and assessments

1. Go to Settings
2. Click Features
3. Scroll to the People section
4. Toggle on Allow admins to approve and assess all learnings

🔐 Only users with the Owner role can enable this setting. If you don’t have access, contact your account owner.

👩‍💼 How admins use this feature

Once enabled:

1. Navigate to the Requests page
2. Go to the Approvals or Assessments tabs
3. View all requests across the organisation
4. Select any request to review
5. Take action:

• • Click Approve for learning approvals
  • Complete or review assessments

💡 Best practices

• Enable this setting if your team experiences approval delays
• Keep clear internal guidelines on when admins should step in
• Use this feature to support, not replace, assigned approvers
• Regularly review workflows to ensure accountability is maintained

🚀 Summary

The Admin Approvals and Assessments setting gives your team the flexibility to move faster without being blocked by rigid assignment rules.

It’s ideal for organisations that need speed, visibility, and operational efficiency in their learning workflows.
