Assign one or more approval levels to the users or groups that approve your due diligence requests in the Third-party Risk Management application. Because the approval levels are applied iteratively and each level contains different rules, you can help to ensure that the correct user or group is assigned as an
approver.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin or sn_vdr_risk_asmt.vendor_risk_admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllApproval ConfiguratorApproval Configurations.
2. Select Third-party due diligence default configuration.
3. Create an approval level by selecting New.  
   A Third-party due diligence default level is included as part of the base system.
4. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   {#tprm-set-request-approval-levels__table_oyj_52z_hrb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Name | Name for the approval level. |
   | Level | Stage of approval. |
   [Table 1. Approval Level form]

   {#tprm-set-request-approval-levels__table_oyj_52z_hrb}  
   Note:  
   In an approval configuration, you can't have multiple approval levels with the same level number. The rules of each level are applied sequentially, one after the other.
5. Select Submit.  
   For information on setting up rules to assign to levels, see [Set up the approval rules for due diligence requests](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wPjDxNZrC0fEQNb47FLheg "Set up the rules at each approval level for your due diligence requests by selecting an approver type and the number of approvals that you require in the Third-party Risk Management application. You can also filter the table conditions that apply to each rule so that you can help ensure that the correct user or group is assigned as an approver.").

   For more information on approval levels and rules, see [Approving or rejecting requests for due diligence](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/TcXVhcLyels~nMNkUMJljQ "Set up the approval levels and rules for due diligence requests in the Third-party Risk Management application to use while approving or rejecting requests after reviewing questionnaire responses and due diligence process results.").
