Creating an approval profile

If there is no approval profile available on FortiPAM, you must create an approval profile.

To create an approval profile:

1. Go to Secret Settings > Approval Profile.
2. Select Create to create a new approval profile.

   The New Approval Profile window opens.

3. Enter a name for the approval profile.
4. In Number of Approval Tiers, select the number of approval tiers the secret request is processed through.

   In this example, Number of Approval Tiers is Two.

5. Optionally, enter a description for the approval profile.
6. In the Tier-1 Settings pane:
   1. In Required number of Approvals, enter the minimum number of approvals required from this tier so that the request is successfully forwarded to the next tier.

      In this example, Required number of Approvals is 1.

   2. From Approvers, select + and from the list, select users in the Select Entries window.

   The selected users review the secret request.

   In this example, two users and a user group are selected.

7. Similar to step 6, set up the Tier-2 Settings.

   In this example, Tier-2 Settings require at least 1 approval from the tier consisting of two users.

8. Click OK.
