Parameters

ON: Specifies that restricted commands that are issued by approval administrators require approval by a different approval administrator when command approval is enabled. This is the default value. Approval administrators are specified by using the CMDAPPROVER parameter on the UPDATE ADMIN and REGISTER ADMIN commands.; When the SET APPROVERSREQUIREAPPROVAL command is set to ON and an approval administrator issues a restricted command, the command is added to a queue of commands that are pending approval. Pending commands will not run until approved by an approval administrator. After a pending command request is approved, the command runs immediately.
OFf: Specifies that restricted commands that are issued by approval administrators do not require approval by a different approval administrator, even when command approval is enabled.
