Environment Service portal

Cause As the users don't have access to the record(RITM, change request etc.,) they are trying to approve, the Approvals widget failed to load the approvals.

Resolution By providing the access(creating an ACL or editing 'Incident Query' business rule) to the approval, the user will be able to see and approve the approvals.
