Approving pending requests from newly created SharePoint groups

  1. In the menu bar, click Requests > Pending requests.

  2. On the Pending Requests page, click Approve next to the request for a new SharePoint group.

  3. In the Approve Request section, enter additional information about the new group:

    • Site collection: Select a site collection where the group will be applied. A site collection groups sites together. User account and their access permissions are managed on the sites.

    • Display name: Enter a name for the new group.

    • Description: Enter a description for the SharePoint group.

  4. (Optional) To specify a validity period for the SharePoint group, perform the following actions:

    1. In the Valid from field, specify as from when the SharePoint groups are valid.

    2. In the Valid until field, specify until when the SharePoint groups are valid.

  5. Perform the following actions:

    1. In the Reason for your decision field, select a standard reason for your approval decision.

Approving new managers' pending requests

Managers can allocate new managers for their identities. To do this, they must select the new manager and a deadline in the future for changing managers (see Assigning other managers to my identities). An assignment of this type triggers a request of type New manager assignment.

If you have been selected as the new manger by the manager change, you receive an approval request from the previous manager. After you have accepted the change of manager, you automatically become the new manager on the given date.

You can cancel entitlements already assigned to the identity on the given date.

To approve an escalated assignment to a new manager

  1. In the menu bar, click Requests > Pending requests.

  2. On the Pending Requests page, next to the New manager assignment request, click Approve.

  3. In the Approve Request page, expand the New manager assignment pane.

  4. (Optional) If the identity has already been assigned entitlements or products, these will be removed or unsubscribed by default on the effective date. If you want the identity to retain these entitlements or products when transferring to the new manager, disable the check boxes next to the respective entitlements and products.

  5. (Optional) To specify from when the new manager is responsible for the identity, enter the date in the Valid from field. If you leave the field blank, the change of manager will be carried out immediately after approval.

  6. In the Approve Request pane, perform one of the following actions:

    1. In the Reason for your decision field, select a standard reason for your approval decision.

    2. In the Additional comments about your decision field, enter extra information about your approval decision.

  7. Click Save.

Appointing other approvers for pending requests

You can give another identity the task of approving a product request. To do this, you have the following options:

  • Reroute approval
    You give the task of approving to another approval level (see Rerouting approvals of pending requests).

  • Appoint additional approver
    You delegate the task of approving to another identity (see Appointing additional approvers to pending requests). The additional approver must make an approval decision in addition to the other approvers.
    The additional approver can reject the approval and return it to you (see Rejecting request approval).
    You can withdraw an additional approver. For example, if the other approver is not available.

  • Delegate approval
    You delegate the task of approving to another approval level (see Delegating approvals of pending requests to other identities). This identity is added as approver in the current approval step and makes approval decisions on your behalf.
    The new approver can reject the approval and return it to you (see Rejecting request approval).
    You can withdraw a delegation and delegate another identity. For example, if the other approver is not available.
