Types of Approval in EmpowerID: EmpowerID offers two types of approval workflows: human approval routing within the workflow (Still use the legacy UI e.g. User Decision Forms.) and the Approval Flow Engine. This lesson provides an overview of these two approval types.

Single Approval Step: Legacy workflows typically allowed only a single approval step for actions like adding an account to a group. This limited flexibility in handling complex approval scenarios.
Introduction to Approval Flow Engine: The Approval Flow Engine is a more flexible and robust solution for handling approvals. It allows organizations to design custom approval flows for various resources and actions, providing greater control and scalability. Depending on the criticality of the resource you have requested, you can now have different approval flows for the same type of object, which was not possible previously and was very difficult to make dynamic.
