In Optimizely Configured Commerce, you can assign a user as an Order Approver in the Admin Console. You must be an Administrator to do so. See [Create users in the Admin Console for information.](docId\:zmVnkrc5kt56vhCJi_5aR)

1. Go to **Admin Console** > **Administration** > **Website Users**.
2. Click **Edit** for the user who will submit orders for approval.

   **Note**

   If you want to add an approver to multiple users, select the checkboxes next to all the users, then click **Multi-Edit**. This lets you update each user, click **Save and Next**, and go to the next record.
   :::
3. Ensure the user has a role for order approval (Buyer 1 or Buyer 2).
4. Click the drop-down list for **Approver** and choose the desired Approver. Both the Buyer 3 and Administrator roles can be approvers.
5. Click **Save** or click **Done** if using the Multi-Edit option.

Order Approvers receive an email notification when a customer submits an order for approval. They can also see a notification on the website when logging in after an order is sent for approval.
