Approve Timesheet vs. Timesheet Approval

[Newbie]

Hello,
In the Server Configuration page of PWA, features section, what is the
difference between the 2 features :
- Approve Timesheet for Resources
- Timesheet Approval
Thanks,

Newbie

Newbie --

Very good question! Here's what they do:

1. Users with the Timesheet Approval permission can access the Approve
timesheets link in the Resource Center page of Project Web Access.

2. The Approve Timesheets for Resources is a Category permission, which
means that it is a permission displayed in the Permissions grid of the
Categories section for any Group, or the Users and Groups section of any
Category page. This permission allows the user to approve timesheets on the
Approve timesheets page for only those resources specified in the Categories
to which the user has access.

In other words, the Timesheet Approval permission allows a user to approve
timesheets, and the Approve Timesheets for Resources permission determines
which resources' timesheets the user can approve. Hope this helps.
