### Overview

Configure a service so that users assigned to the **Owners** property are automatically used as approvers during service requests.

### Prerequisites

- A service with a multi-valued **Owners** property 
- Permission to configure service parameters 

### Steps

1. Open the service configuration. 
2. Create a new parameter with the following settings: 
   - **Name:** Approvers 
   - **Type:** Reference 
   - **Value:** =/Service/Owners 
3. Save the configuration. 

### Result

When the service is requested, all users listed in the **Owners** property are automatically assigned as approvers.

### Additional Notes

- The parameter must be configured as a **Reference** to correctly return user objects. 
- The value =/Service/Owners directly maps the service’s Owners property to the approver field. 
- Ensure the **Owners** property contains valid user entries to enable proper approval assignment.
