What happened

Section titled “What happened”

The action runs on your behalf (its Deedglass-On-Behalf-Of names your user id or email), and your org keeps separation of duties: the person an action is for can’t countersign it. Denying is still allowed.

What to do

Section titled “What to do”

Ask another approver to countersign, or deny it. A one-person org can allow self-countersign in Console › Settings › Approvals.

Example

Section titled “Example”
HTTP 403 · self_approval
{
  "error": {
    "type": "permission_error",
    "code": "self_approval",
    "message": "This action runs on your behalf, so another approver has to countersign it. You can still deny it.",
    "param": null,
    "request_id": "req_01j9zr3m5k8q2w7x4t6v0b1c9d",
    "doc_url": "https://docs.deedglass.com/errors/self_approval"
  }
}

The message is for a person and can get more exact over time: branch on type and code, never on the message.
