If an approval rule was not defined for Vulnerability Response |
Clicking the Approved button causes the policy exception to be
approved. |
If an approval rule was
defined, but the Auto-trigger check box was
not selected |
You can click Request Approval to send the policy
exception to the users or groups defined in the rule. For example, an approval
rule may indicate that when the policy exception is based on a particular
policy, a certain set of users or groups are notified that they need to
provide approval for the policy exception. Or, an approval rule may be defined
so that any policy exception with a risk rating of Critical is automatically
sent to a certain set of approvers. The number of approvers necessary to
approve the policy exception depends on the setting in the
Required Approval field in the rule. You can
also click Approve to approve the policy exception
yourself. |
If an approval rule was defined, and the
Auto-trigger check box was selected |
Clicking the Approve button causes the approval rule to be
executed and the policy exception is automatically sent to the users or groups
defined by the rule for approval. Auto-trigger causes this step to be
mandatory.
When approvals are received, the
policy exception goes into effect. |
