Absence category “Vacation” not visible to project managers (vacation approvers)

The vacation of employees should be approved by the project managers.
However, in the office area/employees/absence/vacation requests/applied for, the absence is greyed out for data protection reasons.
If the vacation is approved, you can recognize the type of absence in the title in the pop-up/overlay.
The vacations can also be seen in the personal area absence calendar.
From our point of view, it would make sense if the absence of “vacation” was always visible by the approving person/for his project team.
Or did I miss something?

After feedback from Jan Holländer (thank you!) Is this issue resolved by the following amendment:
Arne Semmler
Jan Holländer: In Settings->Employee->Absence types, you can set separately for each absence type whether it is displayed in color coding in the personal area (so that colleagues can see which type of absence it is). In this way, data protection can be adapted to individual preferences. Is this sufficient for your purposes or do additional requirements have to be considered?

Arne Semmler: In the case of absence “Vacation”, the check mark is set with us and it is also visible in the personal area under Absences. In the office area, however, it is not visible to project managers who are supposed to approve the absence of vacation. As a result, the project management does not even know which absence they should approve. However, in the window in which the absence is then approved, this is then visible again in the window header. Unfortunately, it doesn't answer our little problem yet, unless I do something wrong.

Jan Holländer: Hi Jan, thanks for the tip. I will think again here whether we will produce a security hole if we extend the check mark for the personal area so that this is also directly visible where you have shown it. Not in terms of content, of course (if everyone is allowed to see it in the personal area, then the project management will probably also be connected to something else), but technically it could of course be related to something else.

Anyone who has the right and obligation to approve an absence according to vacation permit settings should also be able to see in the office area what type of absence it is. Depending on permissions, only “absent” is currently displayed and not whether it is vacation, continuing education, etc.
