# The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
# If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
# establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication

# Only persons who have Full Control or Design permissions can approve or reject
# items or files in a list or library that requires approval. Other site users
# can only view what they have permission to view or what they have uploaded

# Important:  Approval or rejection of items or files in lists or libraries must
# be done one at a time. You cannot approve or reject multiple items or files in
# one operation.
