A method for setting up an approval role according to a department by an approval node in a workflow is disclosed in the present invention, including: creating departments and roles included in a system organization structure; setting a department supervisor role in each department; displaying candidate departments when setting an approval node of a workflow; and selecting one or more departments from the candidate departments, wherein the department supervisor role in the selected department serves as an approval role of said approval node. In the present invention, personnel who are responsible for setting a system workflow only need to select a corresponding department when setting an approval role, and then a department supervisor role in the department serves as the approval role. Even if the department supervisor role in the department has changed, the current department supervisor role in the department serves as the approval role, and the approval role does not need to be reset. Accordingly, the operations are convenient and rapid, and errors are unlikely to occur. The subject of an approval operation in a workflow is a role, and the role is an independent individual. Even if an employee or a user has changed, it is only necessary to relate a new employee to the role in the approval process, and therefore, the settings are convenient.
