Before you begin

Role required: sn_vul.vulnerability_admin

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Vulnerability Response > Administration > Approval Rules.
  2. Select an approval rule and navigate to the Approval Configurations tab.
  3. Select a configuration.
  4. In the Approver Levels section, select an approver level.
  5. On the form, fill in the fields.
  6. To save the changes, select Update.
    Note: Prior to v15.0, the workflow process is functional if there are users only in Exception level 1. However, starting from v15.0, there must be at least one user in each level.

    Prior to v15.0, in the workflow, if there was no user in the second level, the vulnerability item or vulnerable group was deferred. However, v15.0 onwards, if there is no user in the second level, the approval request is automatically rejected.

Example

There can be different approval levels for vulnerabilities for Linux and Windows servers.
