Description

Multi-party approval is a capability of Organizations that allows you to protect a predefined list of operations through a distributed approval process. Use Multi-party approval to establish approval workflows and transform security processes into team-based decisions.

When to use Multi-party approval :
  • You need to align with the Zero Trust principle of “never trust, always verify”
  • You need to make sure that the right humans have access to the right things in the right way
  • You need distributed decision-making for sensitive or critical operations
  • You need to protect against unintended operations on sensitive or critical resources
  • You need formal reviews and approvals for auditing or compliance reasons

For more information, see What is Multi-party approval in the Multi-party approval User Guide .
