How do i remove the action column in approval history related list in VF page?

Hi All,

We are working on a scenario where we need to display the approval history related list on a VF page.
However, it displays the approval history related list along with the "Reassign | Approve/Reject" link in the action column for users who are not authorized to access the claim other than submitting it.
Below is the screenshot where the users who submits the claim can go and approve or reject the claim.(Which shouldn't be the case.)
I have tried creating a new profile with limited permissions to test it, yet the issue persists.
Can anyone please highlight the mistake that i am doing?
(Note : We have used an approval process which will take care of the approval or rejection.)

There are some consideration that needs to taken care of,
  1. User should not have modify all permission for that perticuler object on which you have defined approval process
   2. User should not have admin priveldge "Modify All data" permission.

Please let me know if user are able to approve request without these two permission.

Hi Jetha,

I have my own custom button(custom code) to approve/reject the approval process. I want to hide approce/reject links for all users (including actual approver) so that we can force users to use custom button to approve reject the record. OR is there any way I can show some type of error message to users when they click on approve/reject button?

Thanks,
