Human Approval Flow
- Phillip Hanegan
Owned by Phillip Hanegan
When users shop for resources in the IAM Shop, they put resource items for which they are eligible to receive in their shopping carts. When ready, they submit the items in their cart to the EmpowerID system. These cart submissions are known as “Business Requests.” Each Business Request can contain one or more resource items, depending on the number of items that were in a user’s cart when submitted. The Business Request, including all the items in that request, routes for approval based on the configuration of Approval Flow policies. Approval Flow policies are user-defined policies that organizations can create to direct Business Requests through an approval process that can involve multiple levels of approval from numerous designated approvers before users receive the items in a Business Request, known as “fulfillment.” Organizations can create Approval Flow policies that are as simple or as complex as their needs dictate. The topics in this section help you get started.
