Approving a job request
When an approver from the approval profile set in Creating a job approval profile logs in to FortiPAM, the approver sees a notification that requires action.
The request that was made in Sending a request to access the job appears in the Approval List tab in Action is required.
To approve a job request:
- From the notifications icon, select the pending approval request message to open the Approval List tab. Alternatively, go to Secrets > Approval List.
- Select the secret request, and then select Edit.
The Approving secret request window opens.
To override the requested duration:
In Start time and End time, select the Calendar icon and select a new date and time range to override the requested duration. Alternatively, enter a new date and time range.
- In the Approval Status pane, select Approve to approve the request.
- Optionally, enter comments related to the secret approval request.
Approver comments are visible to the requester.
- Click Save.
Once approved, the Approval Status is updated. In this example, the request now moves to the next tier as configured in Creating a job approval profile.
The requester can see the status of the job approval request in the Tier Approval Progress column in Secrets > My Request List.
When the request has successfully passed through all the approval tiers (in this example the two approval tiers):
-
Only the Status option when Creating an ssh script type job can be edited. The other options become noneditable.
-
The script related job now runs.
