Detailed information about this topic

Default approval policies

One Identity Manager supplies service items by default. These approval policies are used in the Identity & Access Lifecycle shop approval processes. You can store mail templates with default approval policies for sending notifications during the request process and specifying a priority.

To edit default approval policies

  • In the Manager, select the IT Shop > Basic configuration data > Approval policies > Predefined category.

Adding to the IT Shop

You can assign approval policies to shops, shopping centers, or shelves. The approval policy is applied to the request from the respective IT Shop nodes if there are no approval policies assigned to child IT Shop nodes. For more information, see Determining effective approval policies.
