How to Manage Self Allocation Requests as an Admin

When a user tries to join a team that requires Admin Approval, all Admins for the organisation will be notified. This notification (sent by email or MS Teams) includes a link to the Self Allocation section in Portal where Admins can:
  1. view all currently pending requests,
  2. accept/reject the requests, and
  3. access a comprehensive Self Allocation Audit Trail.
Once approved, the user is automatically added as a team member, and the Huddle or Survey submission they completed along with the request will be included in the team's results. If rejected, the user will be notified along with a note to contact the Admin that rejected their request.   
If you don't approve or decline the request it will be automatically approved after 7 days.
