How to Recall the approval process using Salesforce Apex?

Posted by rahul Billaka on April 12, 2018 at 1:21 PM

When a user submits a process to approve or recall, only the submitter and system admin can recall it. Is there a way that the Project Manager or any other person can recall it.
Note: This is a standard functionality by Salesforce to not allow other users to recall except submitted and sysadmin when you are using standard component apex not a custom.

Any suggestions are really helpful.

Hi Rahul,

I know two workarounds but they’re both terrible:

1 – Just reject the record and do it again.

2 – Give the ModifyAll permission for that object. This is generally a terrible idea as it shatters security models by giving admin-like powers not just to recall and reassign, but also approve your own changes.

I’m in full support of introducing this feature!
