Thanks for the reply but not exactly what i want. I'll give an example. Suppose there are two departments D1 and D2 and employee E1 wants to transfer from D1 to D2. He would need approval from both Managers M1 and M2 of the departments repectively. So when th M1 hasn't approved M2 shouldn't be able to view the approve button so i can;t just put a group because the manager would differ on a case to case basis, hope that makes it more clearer what i want
