This guide assumes you have appropriate administrator access to your Paid Lite system.

From the main navigation select "Settings" and "Departments"

Select "General" from the list. You will be taken to a detail screen showing the different approval groups. Select "Shared Approver Groups" from the top menu.

From here you can set up or manage shared approver groups.

To create a new group, click "Create Approver Group" give the new group a logical name and click "Create".

You can then use the icon of the two people to add your users into the approval group. As a user is added or removed it is automatically saved.
