Depending on the provided configuration: - If Microsoft profile managers are used, department and custom approvers are ignored. - If department settings are used, Microsoft profile managers and custom approvers are ignored. - If custom approvers are provided, Microsoft profile managers and department settings are ignored. **No Approver (Self-Approval):** To set "no approver" for a member, provide an empty array: `approvers: []`. The system will automatically configure the member as their own approver (self-approval), which is internally recognized as "no approver" throughout the application.
