Some Patching Strategies require patch manager approval before beginning a patch cycle. The Patching Process looks for an Approval Chain to use when processing approvals and sends a notification based on the communication process configured for each approver.
These approval communications include a link that directs the approver to the Admin Portal, prompting them to authenticate.
Administrators may see all pending and completed Approvals using the dashboard.

Select Approval Requests from the left navigation menu of the Patch dashboard, and then review All, Pending, or Completed approval requests.

Pending lists the process awaiting approval. You may view and change processes with a status of pending. The Approval Request details for processes await approval in this list.
-
The Completed view is read-only. You may view the Approval Request details, but you may not make any changes.
