Non-delegable step
An approval step only its named approver can decide, such as a CEO sign-off.
A non-delegable step is an approval step that only its named approver can decide, signed in as themselves, such as a CEO sign-off. Delegates, backup users, deputies, escalation and administrator overrides cannot act on it, and a forwarded approval email decides nothing. In Vintage People such a step still gets reminders, but it is never escalated or moved on automatically.
