Hello,

We have an infopath bases process that send the form to the user's manager for approval. However, we would like it so that if the initial submitter is of a certain management level, it is not sent to his/her manager (automatically approved). Essentially, if the submitter is a normal user, his her manager needs to approve it. If it's submitted by a VP or higher, it's automatically approved.

We maintain a list of usernames in both a SQL tables and sharepoint of managers who don't need approval. If we have an activity that has the originator's manager set for approval, is there a way to code the activity to be skipped or expired if the originator's name exists in this SQL table or list?

Thanks,
Jason
