Exception approvers

Employees who can issue exception approvals for policy violations can be assigned to company policies. To do this, assign an application role for exception approvers to a company policy on the main data form.

A default application role for exception approvers is available in One Identity Manager. You may create other application roles as required. For detailed information about application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
