33.4 Approving Access Requests

You might have to approve requested items if the Access Request policy specifies you as an approver for requests. Your Access Request administrators might have flagged some items as needing further approval someone requests them. Some administrators require business role members, a person’s supervisor or an application owner to approve requested items, and some items might require multiple approvers. In these situations, you must approve items before the next designated approver receives them.

To see and act on your approval items:

  1. In the Request interface, select Approvals.

  2. Select a request item on the left to display the details on the right. A request might contain more than one requested item.

  3. (Optional) Select a requested item to see details about the request, including decision support information.

    NOTE:By default, Identity Governance enables decision support information, including business role authorization status. If you do not use business roles, and if you are also an administrator, you can disable the status display by deselecting Administration > Analytics and Role Mining Settings > Show business role authorization status option.

  4. Select to Approve or Deny each requested item.

  5. Select Confirm approval to submit your approval tasks.
