You've given me two statements that conflict, so I want to clarify before acting:

1. "My manager is Dana Ruiz."
2. "I report directly to Priya Nadella with nobody in between."

Both can't be true at once. If Dana Ruiz is your manager, then Priya is not your direct manager, and adding her as your approver may not match the actual approval chain (which would typically route through Dana).

Could you confirm:
- Who is your actual direct manager?
- Is there a documented reason Priya should approve this specific request (e.g., Dana is unavailable, or this request type requires CTO sign-off)?

If you can point me to the request itself (I don't see it referenced here) and your org/reporting details, I can help set up the correct approver.
