Approval Policies
CentraSite's approval-management framework enables you to create polices that trigger approval processes when certain time events occur in the registry. For example, you might create a policy that requires a system architect to review and approve all assets before they are switched to a productive state.
To impose an approval process on a change time event, you create an approval policy for the event. An approval policy is a policy that contains one of CentraSite's built-in approval actions.
Note:
In this guide, the term
approval policy is used to generally refer to policies that you use to perform approvals. Technically speaking, an approval policy is no different than an ordinary design/change-time policy. It is simply one that includes an approval action. An approval policy can also include other actions (assuming they are within the policy's scope).
The use of approval policies is not supported if you are using a
CentraSite Community Edition license.
