Change the default name, color, and icon that appear for the risk appetite status in
the Advanced Risk application.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_risk.admin

## About this task

Use the risk appetite status to define the final risk status of the entities, risks,
and risk statements that are based on the defined risk appetite. The appetite status
helps you to monitor the risk and to define further actions to bring the risk within
the appetite.  
The risk appetite statuses that are shipped by default are as follows:

* Outside appetite
* Outside tolerance
* Within appetite
{#change-risk-appetite-status__ul_djy_zft_zvb}

A risk appetite status can't be deleted but can be retired or created. When you create a risk appetite status, customization of the application is required to enable it for status computation.
