AbsenceSelf Auto Approve Rule triggers approval required action to requester instead of Auto Approve

Summary:

In Transaction Console > Approval rules, we have setup a Self Auto Approve rule under Global Absence Single Assignment for a particular user.

Requirement: User A submits an absence request - Absence request should be Auto Approved

Actual Result: User A submits an absence request - notification triggered to User A to approve the absence instead of Auto Approval.

The user has only single Assignment and hence this is the only rule triggered.

However, Global Absence Single Assignment has 2 rules, Rule1 - for all employees and Rule2 - for User A

Are the 2 rules triggered simultaneously for this Absence request?
