Self Approve Leaves

In standard Odoo, an employee cannot validate or refuse their own leave request, even when they are configured as their own time off approver. This module changes that rule.

• It applies to time off requests (hr.leave).
• When a user tries to approve or refuse a leave, Odoo normally checks whether that user is allowed to do so. This module skips that check for the user's own request, but only when the employee linked to the user is also set as their own time off approver.
• Administrators are not affected: the normal behaviour is kept for them.
• The change only concerns the approval and refusal actions; it does not add new screens, menus, buttons or reports.
• No new fields, default values, emails or scheduled jobs are added.

In practice, an employee whose time off approver is themselves can confirm their own leave request without needing someone else to approve it. The module is installed from the Apps list under Human Resources and works together with the standard Time Off app.
