Bulk editing policy approvals

Roles and permissions

The following roles can bulk edit policy approvals:

  • Administrators with manager or contributor permissions for the policy.

  • Compliance managers with manager permissions for the approval.

  • Users with manager permissions for the approval.

  • Limited access user with manager permissions for the approval.

Note

When a user is added as a policy approver, that user is added automatically to the policy membership with viewer permissions and to the approval with contributor permissions. An Administrator can modifypolicy the approver's permissions on the policy and the approval if necessary.

Using the bulk options on the policy Approvals tab or the Work items > Approvals tab you can modify one or more policy approvals. If you select policies where you don't have the correct permissions, the bulk actions are grayed out. See Understanding the policy approvals tab for information on other approval fields and options.
