Federated - include vendors, customers and stakeholders

When someone leaves, most workflows stop. StarGarden's don't.

When a manager goes on leave, gets promoted, or leaves the organization, most workflow systems stop moving. Someone has to manually update approval routing, reassign tasks, or chase down who is supposed to sign off now. That maintenance burden falls on HR, IT, or whoever notices the bottleneck first.

StarGarden Authority Manager eliminates it. Authority in StarGarden originates at the top of the organizational structure and flows through positions via formal delegation. When someone steps into a role, they inherit the approval rights that come with it automatically. When they leave, authority stays with the position. No manual reconfiguration required.

For organizations with formal authority structures, documented delegation policies, and collective agreement obligations, that is not a convenience. It is a governance requirement.

The maintenance burden nobody budgets for

Every organizational change creates a workflow maintenance problem in systems that tie approvals to people rather than positions. A new department head needs to be added to every relevant approval chain. A deputy director going on parental leave means someone manually reassigns their tasks. A restructure means weeks of workflow reconfiguration.

StarGarden's position-based authority model means those changes happen automatically. When someone takes on a role, their workflow routing updates. When they delegate authority for an absence, tasks route to the delegate and return when the absence ends. When the organization restructures, routing follows the new structure without intervention.

For IT managers and HR Directors at complex organizations, the cumulative time saved on workflow maintenance is substantial. More importantly, approvals never get stuck.

Built for organizations where authority is formal and documented

Municipalities, regional health authorities, school districts, and organizations operating under collective agreements have something in common: authority is not informal. Who can approve what is documented in position descriptions, employment agreements, and organizational policy. Delegations are formal acts, not casual arrangements.

StarGarden's authority model reflects that reality. Formal delegations flow from position descriptions down through the hierarchy and are automatically inherited by incumbents. Informal trust delegations can be set up on a case-by-case basis, with rules governing whether they can be on-delegated further. If a delegate is unavailable, tasks route back to the delegator rather than sitting in an empty inbox.

The result is a workflow environment that respects the authority structures your organization has already defined, rather than requiring you to rebuild them inside the software.
