Detailed information about this topic
One Identity Manager provides a default approval workflow for default attestation of new users and recertification of all identities stored in the One Identity Manager database. Moreover, default approval workflows are supplied through which different roles and system entitlements mapped in the Unified Namespace can be attested. You can use default approval policies for creating attestation policies in the Web Portal.

One Identity Manager can make approvals automatically in an attestation procedure or through attestors. An attestor is an identity or a group of identities who can grant or deny an attestation case within an attestation procedure. It takes several approval procedures to grant or deny approval. You specify in the approval step which approval procedure should be used.
If several people are determined to be approvers by an approval procedure, the number given in the approval step specifies how many people must approve the step. A request can only be passed up to next level afterward. The attestation procedure is canceled if an approver cannot be found for an approval step.
One Identity Manager provides approval procedures by default. You can also define your own approval procedures.
The DBQueue Processor calculates which identity is authorized as an approver and in which approval level. Take into account the special cases for each approval procedure when setting up the approval workflows to determine those authorized to grant approval.
