Part 1: Departmental Administration: Create a Travel Auth for Another Employee Within My Department

[klondikemarlen]

Relates to:

• User Stories for Travel Authorization Expenses #62
• partial implements Departmental Administration: Create a Travel Auth for Another Employee Within My Department #166

Context

Give department admins the ability to create travel authorizations for another employee in there department.

Requirements

• utilize the same UI as the /my-travel-requests, but will require the ability to pick the user the travel request is applied to.
• create travel request for other user button could be located in the /manage-travel-requests page or the /travel-request pages. /travel-request should be renamed to /travel-requests
• Route for edit access should be /travel-requests/46/details/edit
• Rename DEPT_ADMIN = "dept_admin", to department_admin for better future readability.

Implementation

Opted to go with adding the button to /manage-travel-requests page because I don't want to deal with code mess in the /travel-request component tree.
Support basic travel authorization creation for user's other than the current user, for admins.

The modal pops-up but there is no mechanism to get to the newly added form to fill it out.

We should consider where this button is put. The manager view is likely not the appropriate place for it. Maybe the Travel Request Grid.
