What is an approval group?

An approval group consists of a list of reviewers and approvers. If you have approval rights, you may be the only approver, or represent a group whose approval is necessary for the request to move forward in the workflow. If a request requires approval by a named group, you must be a member of that group for your approval to be valid.

Examples of approval groups are listed below.
