Workflow approval
Workflow approval matrices specify which users must approve or reject policy changes for each ADOM.
Up to eight approval groups can be added to an approval matrix. One user from each approval group must approve the changes before they are accepted. An approval email will automatically be sent to each member of each approval group when a change request is made.
Email notifications are automatically sent to each approver, as well as other administrators as required. A mail server must be configured, see Mail Server, and each administrator must have a contact email address configured, see Managing administrator accounts.
