Configuring runbook approval

Define whether to use the approval workflow or the direct publish workflow to make runbooks available for execution by operators.

1. Navigate to Library.
2. Expand the drop-down menu.
3. Click Settings next to the New runbook button.
4. Select Approve runbooks before publish if you want runbooks to be approved before they are published.
5. If you want to enforce that an approval must be refreshed at a regular interval, select Set expiration date after xxx days and choose a time interval. If this option is enabled, the runbook approval will expire after the specified number of days and can no longer be executed until the runbook is reviewed, submitted for approval, and approved again.

   The deactivated approval process is described in Create a runbook.

   The activated approval process is described in Runbook approval process.

   Note: If the approval process is deactivated, all pending approvals are deleted.
