Security loophole with DMS workflow status

I have a document approval workflow where the approver, after receiving the workflow communication, goes into CV02N to update the document status to approved or rejected. But now the DMS user wants to put the document back to 'in progress', make some updates, and kick off the approval workflow again.

The problem I am encountering is that to perform the update from Approved to In Progress, C_DRAW_TCS maintain authorization needs to be given for both statuses. But if I do that, then the DMS user can set the status to 'Approved' any time he wants (that should only be a status for an Approver).

Surely there must be a solution for this common scenario?

You can change the status back to in Progress in the workflow as a background task, then the status change is done by WF-BATCH.

Was able to solve with tweaking my document status flow via config.
