## Vorbereitungen

Roles required: sn_kmf.admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Warnung:  
You must sign a legal addendum to activate the key withdrawal functionality. The Quorum Control Policy Settings option becomes available when the withdrawal feature is enabled, otherwise the module is not visible on the app menu. After key withdrawal, your instance is no longer available until the encryption key is active again.

## Prozedur

1. Request the key withdrawal functionality from Customer Service and Support.
2. Navigate to Cloud Encryption Key ManagementQuorum Control Policy Settings.
3. Select the Quorum control enabled check box.  
   Additional fields appear that are required to configure quorum control.
4. Fill in the fields to complete the form.

   | Field | Description |
   | Approvers | Designate the members of the quorum from the list of users. Select the lock icon ![Lock icon.]() to open the user directory. There is no limit to the number of approvers that can be selected. |
   | Minimum number of approvers to achieve quorum | Designate the minimum number of approvers required to achieve quorum. For example, if there are nine approvers selected, a minimum of five may be configured for quorum. When five approvals are received in the system, quorum is reached and the withdraw operation starts. Hinweis: The minimum number of required approvers is two. |
   | Requests expire after the specified duration (hours) | Set a numeric value in hours that is the maximum time allotment for the minimum number of approvals to be obtained. After the time frame expires, the quorum requests also expire. A new quorum request is required to continue with a withdrawal request. |
