Configure approval strategy

You can configure a strategy for approving user sign-up requests.

It is not mandatory to specify an onboarding strategy. If you do not configure an onboarding strategy, users who sign up are directly onboarded.

For information on configuring user onboarding strategies, see Onboarding strategy.
