Standard changes are pre-approved, low-risk changes with a proven history of success. The standard change catalog contains the changes that have been approved by the Change Management application as standard changes.

The standard change catalog enables you to perform the following activities:

* Request, review, and approve standard change templates.
* Request pre-approved standard changes.
* Determine access to standard change templates at the user level.  
  Note:  
  You must have read access to the standard change template. Please ensure you have the correct roles to access the templates.
