Authorizing a Change
The Change authorization phase gives all of the stakeholders an opportunity to review the Change request and either approve or disapprove its continuation. During authorization, the workflow sends approval assignments to the approvers or approver groups that have these assignments.
About this task
The workflow performs a structured series of steps to ensure that your Change is authorized to proceed. You can preauthorize a Change before this phase is set to begin; to do so, set the Change type to standard. When the workflow encounters a preauthorized Change, it skips this phase and moves on to the next step of the Change process. You can also have approval assignments sent to approvers based on their authorization level, or you can send these assignments to all approvers, regardless of authorization levels.
