Granting Approve Permission

MOSS includes an Approvers group specifically for users who can approve and reject documents but do not have other special permissions. In WSS, the Owners and Administrators groups can approve/reject but they also have considerably more power. If you are using WSS, you may want to create a separate permissions level for approvers.
To create an Approve permission level in WSS:
1. At the top-level web site, click Site Actions -> Site Settings, and click Advanced permissions under the Users and Permissions heading. SharePoint displays the Permissions page.
2. On the toolbar, click Settings -> Permission levels, and then click Add a Permission Level. SharePoint displays the Add a Permission Level page.
3. Name the permission Approve and select Approve Items in List Permissions; then click Create at the bottom of the page. SharePoint creates the new permission level.
The Approve permission level now appears in the list of permissions that can be assigned to users or groups.
