# 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

# 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.
