There are two ways of how to make a change in permissions without approval.
After submitting a request, an event is called out which is captured by processor "role-request-approval-processor". If we disable this processor, all submitted requests will be realized immediately without any approval.
A request for permission change contains attribute "executeImmediately". If this attribute is set to "true", the request will be executed immediately after submitting it. A submission without approval can be executed only by users having permission "ROLEREQUEST_EXECUTEIMMEDIATELY". If an event marked in this way is executed by a user without this permission, an exception will be called out.
