In general, admins approve events when they are in their "Requires Administrative Approval" grid on their Dashboard. If your account has sub-admins that are responsible for approving certain spaces and/or resources and/or services in approval areas on events, then admins should always first click the "clock" icon on events in their "Requires Administrative Approval" BEFORE clicking "Approve".

However, as an Admin, when events are created and submitted by you or other users, the approval process could be different than the simplest process explained above based on your permissions given, including Location(s) permissions. Read below to learn more.
"Specific Approval Areas"
- To learn more about this feature for admins read: Where Does an Admin with Sub-Admin Role Approve their Area of Responsibility in an Event?
- This setting only applies to the locations you have access to under your Location Permissions.
"Billing Contact"
- This will allow admins to see the billing page in eSPACE, which gives them the ability to update the subscription under Settings > Other > Billing > Manage. They can also go to Settings > Other > Billing > History to see all the past receipts.
"Can User Pre-Approve Events"
- This will allow you as an admin to pre-approve events after they are submitted, if the organization has this extra layer of approval enabled under Settings>Advanced>General>Event Creation.
- If you have pre-approval turned on for your organization and you yourself as an admin have permission to pre-approve events AND you also have Auto Approval turned on for the event, then when you submit the event it will go straight to being Approved OR "Pending Final Approval" if Final Approval is also enabled Settings>Advanced>General>Event Creation.
- If you have Pre-Approval enabled for your organization, but you as an admin do not have permission to pre-approve events, then once you submit an event for approval, the event will go to the admin (or sub-admin) that has permission to pre-approve all events.
- If you have Pre-Approval enabled for your organization, but you as an admin don't have permission to pre-approve an event AND you have auto approval enabled on the event, once you submit it for approval it will go to the admin (or sub-admins) that has permission to pre-approve. Once they pre-approve, it will either be fully approved or go to Pending Final Approval, if you have Final Approval enabled for your organization.
- This setting only applies to the locations you have access to under your Location Permissions.
"Can User Final Approve Events"
- This will allow this Admin to final approve events if the organization has this extra layer of approval enabled under Settings>Advanced>General>Event Creation.
- If you have Final Approval enabled for your organization and also have auto approval turned on for the event, when you submit it for approval, it will go straight to "Pending Final Approval". If you also have permission to final approve the event, then you will be able to final approve it.
- This setting only applies to the locations you have access to under your Location Permissions.
