Role approvers and role approvers (IT)

In One Identity Manager, you can assign business roles to identities who can be brought in as approvers in approval processes for IT Shop requests, provided that the approval workflow is set up accordingly. To do this, assign the business roles to application roles for approvers. For more information, see the One Identity Manager IT Shop Administration Guide.

Default application roles for approvers and approvers (IT) are available in One Identity Manager. You may create other application roles as required. For more information about implementing and editing application roles, see theOne Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
