Connecting to Devices with Managerial Approval via SSH
1 min
Admins can configure devices to allow access only after managerial approval. This section describes how to proceed with the approval process in SSH sessions for such devices.
When you attempt to access a device configured with managerial approval, the following confirmation message will appear in the SSH session.
Start (y) or Reject (n) Managerial Approval Process for SSH
Proceed with the managerial approval process, as described below:
- To avoid starting an approval process, type n.
- To start the approval process for connecting to the device, type y. The system will send the approval process to the assigned manager, and you will see the following message with an Approval ID. If you started the approval process by typing y, you can follow up on the approval status using the Approval ID. See Approval Management for End Users.
