Approval processes for IT Shop requests

All IT Shop requests are subject to a defined approval process. During this approval process, authorized employees grant or deny approval for the product assignments. You can configure this approval process in various ways and therefore customize it to meet your company policies.

You define approval policies and approval workflows for approval processes. Specify which approval workflows are going to be used for the request in the approval policies. Use approval workflows to specify which employee is authorized to grant or deny approval for the request at the time it was placed. An approval workflow can contain a number of approval levels, and this can, in turn, contain several approval steps, for example, when several management hierarchy layers need to give approval for a request. A special approval procedure is used to determine the approvers in each approval procedure.

In the default installation, different default approval policies are assigned to the Identity & Access Lifecycle shop. Therefore, requests from this shop are run through predefined approval processes. Assign an approval policy to the shop, the shelf or the service item of the Identity & Access Lifecycle shelf if requests from this shop should go through customized approval process.
