You can design the approval workflow for the removal of assignments from vulnerable items (VIs, VITs), remediation tasks, application vulnerable items (AVITs), and container vulnerable items (CVITs) for you and your
group.

VIT, remediation task, AVIT, and CVIT have a default approval rule each. Each approval rule has a default approval configuration. Each approval configuration has a default approver level. The approval rules for VITs, remediation
task, AVIT, and CVIT are enabled by default. As an admin, you can perform the following actions by navigating to AllVulnerability ResponseMy ApprovalsApproval Rules and selecting the appropriate approval rule.

* enable or disable an approval rule.
* create and update an approval configuration.
* define conditions for vulnerable items and remediation tasks for which the approval rules apply.
* create and update multiple approver levels.
