Approve or deny an approval request

When an approval request is created, an email is sent to the assigned approvers who can then approve or deny the promotion of a package to the next lifecycle stage.

To approve or deny an approval request

1. Navigate to Release Automation > Approvals.

   The Approvals sidebar menu item is displayed only to assigned approvers or users who have the "Application release gate approve" permission.

2. Click Pending Requests on the left panel. A list of all requests that require your approval is displayed.

   You can click on any request to drill-down and view the details of the request.

3. Select a request to approve or reject. You can also select multiple requests.
4. Click the Approve button to approve the request or the Reject button to reject it.
5. If you click the Approve button, entering a comment in the conformation box is optional but if you click the Reject button, you must mandatorily enter a comment.
6. Depending on whether you approve or reject a request, the request is moved to the Approved Requests area or the Rejected Requests area.
