The approval mechanism is activated for each account and sub-account under the group. Different manager user groups can be assigned for account approvals. Approvals can be made through the Single Connect GUI, by email, or through the Single Connect mobile application. All users, except the SAPM Admin user, are forced to run through the approval mechanism. Even if a user group has permission for an account or group, it must first get approval. Creator users also need to get approval for their accounts. In the SAPM Tree structure, approval for sub-accounts can be obtained from any parent group on the tree.

If there are differences in approval level, a multi-level approval structure can be activated. In this way, more authorized managers can approve a higher level.


The following parameter is defined in the System Config Manager to activate the approval mechanism:
