Reviewing and approving or rejecting change templates - AWS Systems Manager

Reviewing and approving or rejecting change templates

If you're specified as a reviewer for change templates in Change Manager, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, you're notified when a new change template, or new version of a change template, is awaiting your review. An Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic sends the notifications.

Note

This functionality depends on whether your account has been configured to use an Amazon SNS topic to send change template review notifications. For information about specifying a template reviewer notification topic, see Task 1: Configuring Change Manager user identity management and template reviewers.

To review the change template, follow the link in your notification, sign in to the AWS Management Console, and follow the steps in this procedure.
