Approving or requesting a change to a policy

Roles and permissions

All user roles can access approval tasks assigned to them without needing to be a member of the associated policy.

When a Draft policy document is complete, the policy owner or manager moves that version of the document to the Approval stage to have it go through an approval process. The manager assigns approval tasks to the appropriate policy stakeholders. When approval tasks are assigned, Hyperproof sends each approver a notification with a link to their approval task. To approve or request a change to a policy you must be logged in to Hyperproof.
