MSS - Compensation Planning and Approval Issues

Hi Experts,

We are implementing MSS for one of our clients (only MSS) and face a few issues.

1. The Submitter is able to view and approve the Compensation plan for his reportee........instead it should be the submitters manager who should only be able to approve ie Compensation approval should be done by M+1 level but it is right now done by the manager himself. How can this be done? Any setting through which we can restrict this?

2. We would like to restrict the Compensation submission to the Managers only. While we are testing we found that one of us who is not a manager can still create and submit the Compensation change. We don't want this to happen so that even by error the MSS Role is assigned to a non-manager, he should still not be able to make any changes.

Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
