    Role required: sn_vulc.exception_approver

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Configuration Compliance > My Approvals.
    2. Select a request from your queue.
    3. Approve or reject the request with appropriate comments.
      Note:
      In case of a two-level approval workflow, after the first-level approval, the request is submitted to the second level for further approval. If there are no users in the second level, the request is automatically approved after the first-level approval.

      After the request is approved, the remediation task moves to a Deferred state. In case of rejection, the remediation task reverts to its earlier state.
