What Happens When an Approval Action Is Enforced?
 
Auto-Approval
When a user performs an operation that triggers an approval policy, CentraSite initiates an approval workflow and submits the user's request to the designated group of approvers. Approvers receive the approval request in their inbox in CentraSite Control. Approvers whose user account includes a valid e-mail address also receive an email message informing them that a request is awaiting their approval. You can configure an approval action to send an email notification to other specified users, too.
Note:  
For CentraSite to issue email messages, an administrator must first configure CentraSite's email server settings. For information about how to configure the email server, see the CentraSite Administrator’s Guide.
CentraSite does not execute the user's requested operation until it obtains the necessary approvals. If an approver rejects the request, CentraSite notifies the requestor and immediately exits the policy. It does not perform the user's requested operation nor does it execute any remaining actions in the approval policy. If other policies were to be executed against the user's request (that is, if the request triggered lower priority policies in addition to the approval policy) those policies are not executed.
Using the Inbox on the My CentraSite page in CentraSite Control, users can view the status of the requests that they have submitted for approval. Approvers also use the Inbox to review and authorize requests that require their approval.
